Hanley logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley has points in consecutive games for the first time this season. The 30-year-old defenseman set up Tyler Seguin's tally in the first period. Hanley is up to five points, 47 hits, 31 blocked shots, 13 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through a career-high 36 contests -- given his lack of offense, he's not much of a factor in fantasy.

Hanley collected an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley rejoined the lineup Sunday after sitting out Saturday's 5-4 win over the Sharks. The 30-year-old snapped an eight-game point drought with his helper. Given his limited third-pairing role, Hanley is not an option for most fantasy formats. He's up to four points, 12 shots on net, 46 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 35 contests.

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.

Hanley sat as a healthy scratch for a second straight game Friday versus the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Stars are still without Andrej Sekera (upper body), but prospect Thomas Harley has played the last two games instead of the veteran Hanley. The 30-year-old Hanley has just two points with 26 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in 22 contests this season. When he plays, it's rarely in more than a bottom-pairing role.

Hanley scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley's story is one of perseverance, as he's often had to settle for two-way contracts and part-time roles to stick in the NHL. Now in his seventh season, he hadn't scored in the big leagues. He changed that at 4:26 of the first period Tuesday, with a shot that deflected off a Flame and through Jacob Markstrom's pads. To make it an even sweeter moment, this was Hanley's 100th NHL contest. The 30-year-old won't add much on offense -- he's at two points, six shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 19 appearances this season. He'll stick around as a veteran option to give Andrej Sekera rest on the third pairing from time to time.

Hanley registered an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley had a shot attempt redirected in by Tyler Seguin at 3:03 of the third period. The 30-year-old Hanley had been held off the scoresheet in his previous 12 games this season. The defenseman has added 18 hits, nine blocked shots, four shots on net and a minus-4 rating while filling a part-time role. He'll likely be back in the press box as a healthy scratch once Andrej Sekera (COVID-19 protocols) returns.

Hanley had two hits and one shot in a 7-1 loss to the Panthers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley logged 14:17 minutes of ice time after missing six games (personal). The defenseman is without a point in 11 contests this season.

Hanley (personal) will play Friday against the Panthers, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley will dress for the first time since Dec. 17. The 30-year-old blueliner has a minus-3 rating while averaging 11:04 of ice time through 10 games this season.

Hanley is on paternity leave and won't be with the team Wednesday versus Seattle, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley has been a healthy scratch for much of the season and five consecutive games, so he's not missing anything during his absence Wednesday.

Hanley has played in just one of the Stars' nine games in November.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley has been a frequent healthy scratch, and he's done little to earn more playing time when he's in the lineup. The 30-year-old defenseman has no points, six hits, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in six games this year. He'll occasionally enter the lineup to give Andrej Sekera rest, but Hanley is likely just a placeholder for top prospect Thomas Harley.
