Hanley (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's game versus the Ducks in the first period, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley didn't return to the bench at the start of the second or third periods, so it's safe to assume his game is done. The 32-year-old has seen fairly steady playing time since the Flames claimed him off waivers from the Stars. If he can't suit up Thursday versus the Jets, Nikita Okhotyuk or Dennis Gilbert could enter the lineup.

Hanley scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley's tally came with 19 seconds left in the game, making no impact on the result. The 32-year-old defenseman is at least getting more consistent playing time with the Flames than he did with the Stars, but his spot on the third pairing hardly makes him a fantasy option. For the season, he has five points, 14 shots on net, 46 hits, 43 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 38 appearances.

Hanley logged an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley helped out on a Jakob Pelletier tally in the second period. This was Hanley's first game with the Flames after he was claimed off waivers from the Stars following the Chris Tanev trade. Through 33 appearances this season, Hanley has four helpers, 23 PIM, 37 hits, 33 blocked shots, 13 shots on net and a plus-3 rating. The 32-year-old could be a rotational option on defense for the Flames, but they may be more interested in getting a younger option like Daniil Miromanov in the lineup following the team's defensive overhaul.

Calgary claimed Hanley off waivers from Dallas on Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Hanley was placed on waivers Monday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley has been a healthy scratch for half of Dallas' 16 games since Jan. 25, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. Look for the 32-year-old defender, who's picked up just three assists through 32 top-level appearances this year, to head to AHL Texas if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Hanley has been scratched for five of the Stars' last six games.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley saw steady playing time in January while Miro Heiskanen (lower body) was out, but that time has dried up since Heiskanen returned. Hanley has competed with Nils Lundkvist for the last spot on the Stars' blue line for much of the season, but the momentum isn't in Hanley's favor currently. The 32-year-old has three assists, 24 hits, 24 blocked shots and 14 PIM through 25 outings this season.

Hanley managed an assist and blocked four shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley has two helpers over his last six games. The 32-year-old continues to see minimal minutes, though he is getting his even-strength time alongside Thomas Harley. Hanley is up to three assists with 17 hits, 16 blocked shots, nine shots on goal, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances. His place in the lineup is likely secure until Miro Heiskanen (lower body) returns.

Hanley recorded an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley may have more security in a third-pairing role with Miro Heiskanen (lower body) out week-to-week. This was Hanley's second game in a row, though he did see a majority of the playing time over Nils Lundkvist in December. Hanley has two helpers, seven shots on net, 15 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 15 appearances, so even if he sticks in the lineup, he won't be a fantasy option.

Hanley notched an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley's second penalty led to a Red Wings goal, which isn't likely to make head coach Pete DeBoer happy. Nonetheless, this was Hanley's eighth appearance in 20 games since the start of November. The 32-year-old has gotten more of a chance to play with Nils Lundkvist failing to meet expectations in a third-pairing role. Hanley has one assist, four shots on net, eight hits, six blocked shots, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating through eight contests.
