Hanley logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley was paired with Esa Lindell on defense, and the former set up the latter's goal in the opening minute of the game. With Andrej Sekera (illness) and Miro Heiskanen (illness) both missing from the Stars' defense corps, Hanley is set to play a regular role in the near term. The 30-year-old is up to three points, 32 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 26 contests this season. Fantasy managers won't need to track his production, as he'll be limited to third-pairing usage.
