Jastrzembski pointed out the upcoming free agent might consider signing with the Hurricanes, but Haula played for Carolina in the 2019-20 season, and things didn’t exactly play out well between the forward and the team. He had a season with Boston when the Black and Gold lost in the first round, and Haula was traded to the Devils for Pavel Zacha last offseason. Haula played for Nashville when the Predators were in the Discover Central Division during the season that was altered due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The former Bruins winger became the first player to be eliminated by the same opponent in three consecutive postseasons while playing for three different teams, according to NHL on TNT researcher Chris Jastrzembski. The loss ended a surprise season from New Jersey, and it gave Haula a unique distinction in Stanley Cup playoff history.
The Stanley Cup playoffs are all about existing or newfound rivalries, but NHL fans probably don’t have Erik Haula versus the Hurricanes on their list.Ĭarolina eliminated the Devils in the Eastern Conference semifinals after an overtime victory in Game 5 to take the best-of-seven series, 3-1.
