Hanley logged a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley has quietly overtaken Daniil Miromanov for a spot in the Flames' lineup. The 33-year-old Hanley has played in nine of the last 10 games, going plus-9 with 12 blocked shots in that span. The pair of assists accounted for his first offense through 15 appearances this season. He's a pure defender who is unlikely to see more than bottom-four minutes, so he's probably not going to do enough to make noise in fantasy.

Hanley was scratched for the fourth straight game in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley played four straight games from Nov. 23-29, but he didn't record a point and added just two shots on net, two hits and four blocked shots. When he plays, he's in a third-pairing role. He's drawn in just six of the Flames' first 28 games, with Jake Bean and Brayden Pachal being the most common duo to fill out the blue line this season. Hanley is not a fantasy option if he can't find at least consistent playing time.

Hanley has been scratched for 10 of the Flames' first 12 games after sitting out Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Hanely is one of three left-shot defensemen on the Flames' roster, but they dress five right-handed blueliners Sunday. At this point, Hanley looks to be at the bottom of the pecking order for playing time -- at 33 years old, he's a veteran who can check in when necessary. The team will likely prioritize getting looks at Brayden Pachal and Daniil Miromanov over the course of the season, so barring injuries, Hanley won't play often.

Hanley (undisclosed) isn't available Thursday versus San Jose, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
EDGE Analysis
This is Calgary's season finale, so Hanley will conclude the campaign with a goal and five points in 42 outings between Dallas and the Flames. He missed the final eight contests due to the injury. Hanley is signed through 2024-25, so he'll likely be on Calgary's roster again next year, though it's feasible the 32-year-old will bounce between serving on the third pairing and being a healthy scratch.
