He also went on to reveal that the New Jersey Devils will be starting Jacob Markstrom tonight when they face off against the Boston Bruins.
From Sheldon Keefe:
Erik Haula has been out of the New Jersey Devils lineup since January 5th, and was just considered day-to-day, but is now expected to miss some time.
According to Sportsnet, head coach Sheldon Keefe revealed on January 6th that Erik Haula could miss a couple of weeks after suffering an ankle injury.
Sheldon Keefe reported that Haula ended up spraining his ankle. His last game appearance was against the San Jose Sharks when the Devils ended up losing 3-2 on January 4th.
The Boston Bruins have been dealing with some serious injury problems this year as well, so it will be an interesting game.
