Hanley (lower body) is a game-time call for Sunday's matchup against the Predators, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley has a chance to return after a five-game absence, though the team won't make a decision until warmups at the earliest. The 29-year-old has notched just four assists through 22 games this season, so his availability doesn't have many fantasy implications.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley got hurt in the first period and played only 4:15 in the contest. He was making his 12th straight appearance as a third-pairing defenseman.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley has stepped up since he joined the lineup March 13. In the last nine games, he's provided three assists from a third-pairing role, which has relegated Mark Pysyk to the press box. The 29-year-old Hanley is up to four assists in 19 outings this year. He's added 19 shots on net, 16 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating, although he won't carry much fantasy appeal in a limited role.

The 29-year-old defenseman will continue to compete with Mark Pysyk for playing time -- Hanley's had the edge lately, playing in eight of the last 10 games.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley was in the lineup again as head coach Rick Bowness wanted to rest Mark Pysyk. The 29-year-old Hanley's assist on a Roope Hintz goal in the third period was the former's first point in nine outings. The Stars face a condensed schedule due to their earlier game postponements during a COVID-19 outbreak among the team and poor weather in Dallas. Hanley could see more playing time than usual as a rotational option on the third pairing as Bowness attempts to keep his team fresh in the final two months of the season.
