Hanley notched an assist and two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley had the secondary assist on Corey Perry's third-period goal. The 28-year-old has two assists and six PIM in six contests this year, but he may be in line for more playing time in the near future. John Klingberg is expected to be out with a lower-body injury for two weeks, so Hanley will likely remain in the lineup even when Andrej Sekera (undisclosed) returns. However, Hanley is averaging just 11:04 per game, and his point production is too low to justify a fantasy roster spot.

Hanley was promoted from AHL Texas on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley was sent back to the minors Sunday, suggesting that Andrej Sekera (undisclosed) was nearing a return. With the 28-year-old blueliner quickly being called back up, it looks like he'll be in the lineup Tuesday against the Avalanche rather than Sekera.

The Stars sent Hanley down to AHL Texas on Sunday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley was recalled Oct. 24 with Andrej Sekara (undisclosed) nursing an injury, and was pointless in his three appearances. His demotion is a good sign that Sekara will be ready for Tuesday's game against Colorado. If Sekara can't go, Hanely could easily be recalled again ahead of the clash.

Hanley was recalled from AHL Texas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

When Hanley was sent down Tuesday, it was believed to be a temporary assignment in order to get him into a game with AHL Texas. Even with the promotion, the defenseman is unlikely to get into Thursday's clash with Anaheim and could find himself moving between leagues frequently throughout the season.

Hanley was sent down to AHL Texas on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley figures to suit up in AHL Texas' game Wednesday, but probably will be back in Dallas ahead of Thursday's matchup with Anaheim. Considering the blueliner has logged just two games for the Stars thus far, in which he averaged a meager 10:43 of ice time, the added minutes in the minors should do him some good.

Hanley recorded an assist and two hits while skating 10:20 in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley replaced Taylor Fedun in the lineup and quickly got his first point of the year with the primary assist on Joel L'Esperance's opening tally in the second period. The blueliner had 28 points (eight scores, 20 helpers) in 60 games with AHL Texas last season, but went without a point in 16 games at the NHL level. The assist Thursday was his first NHL point since the 2015-16 campaign, when he managed six apples in 10 games with the Canadiens.

Hanley was recalled from AHL Texas on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Julius Honka is the subject of a contract dispute and Stephen Johns happens to be bogged down by a head injury, so the Stars needed a defensive reinforcement ahead of Saturday's road game versus the Blues. Hanley is no lock to play in that one, but it's still a moot point in the fantasy world, as the depth skater hasn't recorded an NHL point since his rookie campaign with the Habs in 2015.

Hanley (shoulder) is listed on Dallas' training camp roster.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley missed the Stars' 2018-19 season finale due to a shoulder injury, but it was never expected to keep him sidelined for long. The 28-year-old went scoreless in 16 games with the big club last year, so he can safely be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Hanley wasn't available for Tuesday's Game 7 loss to the Blues due to a shoulder injury, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley is expected to be back to 100 percent well ahead of next season's training camp, so this injury shouldn't affect his availability for the start of the 2019-20 campaign. Either way, the 27-year-old blueliner has only appeared in 38 NHL contests over the past four years, and he'll continue to be used sparingly by the big club going forward, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to keep tabs on his status.

Hanley (upper body) isn't expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 7 against St. Louis, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stars head coach Jim Montgomery is expected to use the same lineup for Game 7 that he deployed for Game 6, which means Hanley will remain sidelined for a third consecutive contest. If Dallas is able to pull off the upset on the road Tuesday, the 27-year-old blueliner may get an opportunity to slot back into the lineup at some point during the Western Conference finals.
