Hanley (upper body) hasn't been ruled out versus the Blues on Tuesday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley will travel with the team -- unlike teammate Jamie Oleksiak (lower body) -- and could be an option on the blue line. Even if fully fit, coach Jim Montgomery could decide to hold Hanley in reserve in favor of Taylor Fedun. At this point, the 27-year-old Hanley should be considered a game-time decision leading up to Game 7.

Hanley (upper body) will not suit up in Sunday's Game 6 against the visiting Blues, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley has suited up in just one of eight possible playoff games, so this news doesn't come as a surprise. It's unclear when the 27-year-old would be ready for game action, but it doesn't seem like the team is in a hurry to rush him back into the lineup. Head coach Jim Montgomery said either Taylor Fedun (undisclosed), Dillon Heatherington or Gavin Bayreuther would take the last defenseman spot for Sunday's clash.

Hanley won't suit up for Friday's Game 5 against the Blues and is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley and Jamie Oleksiak (lower body) were both absent from Friday's morning skate, likely paving the way for Taylor Fedun to enter the lineup on the blue line. According to Shapiro, Stars coach Jim Montgomery wouldn't rule out the possibility of deploying Dillon Heatherington or Gavin Bayreuther in that sixth defense spot over Fedun. Hanley's injury comes at an unfortunate time after Oleksiak's lower-body issue paved the way for the 27-year-old defenseman to make his postseason debut in Wednesday's Game 4.

Hanley signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Stars on Wednesday, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two-way aspect of this contract gives Dallas the option of sending Hanley to AHL Texas and back without having to expose him to waivers. Hanley has yet to garner a one-way contract with the Stars, but at least he's doubled up on the term this time around. A left-shot defenseman, Hanley has six assists over 38 games at the top level, though all of that production transpired with the Canadiens in the 2015-16 season; he's played in 28 NHL games between the Habs, Coyotes and Stars since then.

Hanley was shipped down to AHL Texas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley -- who was placed on waivers Monday -- finds himself headed for the minors after logging just 12:28 of ice time against the Flames on Tuesday. Even if he is recalled in the future, the blueliner's lack of offensive production gives him minimal fantasy value.

Hanley will be in the lineup against Calgary on Tuesday, despite being placed on waivers Monday, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Most often when a player is designated for waivers and doesn't get claimed, the team sends him to its AHL affiliate; however, the Stars have opted to keep Hanley around a little longer. If he plays in 10 games or remains on the 23-man roster for 30 days, the blueliner will need to be placed on waivers again in order to be demoted. The Christmas roster freeze goes into effect Wednesday, so Hanley could still be sent to AHL Texas following Tuesday's matchup.

Hanley was placed on waivers by the Stars on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley's impending demotion to AHL Texas (assuming he clears) comes as John Klingberg (hand) returned to practice Monday. The emergence of Gavin Bayreuther has led to Hanley being the odd man out on the Dallas blue line.

Hanley was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley was waived ahead of the season, but the defenseman gets the last laugh. The Stars need him now that John Klingberg (upper body) is expected to be out three weeks.

Hanley was designated for waivers by the Stars on Monday for the purpose of reassignment to the minors, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanley will have to wait to make his debut for the Stars a little longer, after signing with the team on the opening day of free agency this summer. The 27-year-old has appeared in just 22 NHL games, in which he has tallied six goals and four assists. Even if he does crack the lineup for Dallas this season, the Ontario native is unlikely to offer much in terms of offensive production.

Hanley signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Coyotes on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

During 12 NHL games in the last two seasons, Hanley has failed to record a point and finished with a minus-3 rating. His services were better suited for AHL hockey, where he compiled two goals and 18 assists in 52 games during 2017-18.
