Stars' Thomas Harley: Snags helper
Thomas Harley logged an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers in Finland.Harley has been solid in the early going in 2024-25. He has four points over his last five games, giving him a total of one goal, five assists, 21 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 11 outings overall. He continues to play big minutes, though he's moved between playing alongside Miro Heiskanen on the top pairing and filling a bottom-four role. Head coach Pete DeBoer probably prefers to have his top blueliners on different pairings, though Harley has played well regardless of his defensive partner.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Buries goal in loss
Thomas Harley scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.Harley remains the only Dallas blueliner to earn a point this season, and he has three of them (one goal, two assists) through seven contests. The 23-year-old defenseman has added 17 shots on net, six blocked shots, five hits and a plus-3 rating. The team has started 5-2-0, so the lack of production from the blue line hasn't had too much of an impact yet, but fantasy managers who took Harley with a late-round pick can feel comfortable that he's contributing.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Nabs assist Sunday
Thomas Harley provided an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.Harley moved up to the top pairing alongside Miro Heiskanen to cover the absence of Matt Dumba (lower body). Through three games, Harley has racked up two assists, a plus-3 rating, 10 shots on net and five blocked shots. Last regular season, he averaged 1.8 shots per game while shooting 10.4 percent in a 15-goal, 47-point campaign. That's a tough efficiency for a defenseman to maintain, but Harley could keep his production level or better if he is able to sustain a higher shot volume.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Hands out helper
Thomas Harley recorded an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.Harley began 2024-25 on the second pairing with Ilya Lyubushkin, as the Dallas Stars look committed to balancing their defensive pairs with left-handed and right-handed shooters. In the playoffs last year, Harley and fellow lefty Miro Heiskanen often worked together on the top pair. The result here is likely less ice time for Harley, though he may also be able to contribute more offense with easier matchups. The 23-year-old was a standout in 2023-24 with 15 goals, 32 assists and 135 blocked shots in 79 regular-season appearances.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Signed before camp opens
Thomas Harley signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.It's a bridge deal for the 23-year-old defenseman, who broke out with 15 goals, 32 assists, nine power-play points, 135 blocked shots and a plus-28 rating over 79 games last year. Harley was a restricted free agent prior to signing. He'll be a popular depth pick in fantasy drafts this fall, though his 10.4 shooting percentage from 2023-24 could be a cause for worries about regression, as that's an unusually high mark for a blueliner.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Bags apple in loss
Thomas Harley notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.The helper snapped a seven-game slump for Harley. The 22-year-old defenseman may be starting to feel the wear and tear of a full-length NHL season and a deep playoff run, as he's struggled to provide a strong two-way game in the playoffs. Harley has three helpers, 44 blocked shots, 27 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-8 rating over 17 postseason contests. He was dropped to the second pairing Wednesday after spending a majority of the playoffs alongside Miro Heiskanen on the top pairing. There may be more shuffling ahead for the Dallas Stars' defense if Chris Tanev (lower body) can't suit up Friday in Game 5.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Sets up shortie
Thomas Harley logged a shorthanded assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.Harley took a shot, and Tyler Seguin was able to knock in the rebound for the Dallas Stars' fourth goal. Both of Harley's helpers this postseason have come within the last three games. The 22-year-old blueliner is up to 18 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while holding down a top-four role through nine playoff contests. Dallas has leaned heavily on its top defensemen, so Harley should continue to see massive minutes even if he's not a significant factor on offense.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Gets first point of postseason
Thomas Harley registered an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.Harley snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper on Radek Faksa's third-period tally, which was the game-winning goal. The 22-year-old Harley had an excellent regular season with 15 goals and 47 points over 79 appearances, but he has just one assist with 12 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through seven playoff outings. He'll still absorb top-four minutes, especially with Dallas leaning heavily on five blueliners, but his offense may take a back seat to his defensive duties again versus the Avalanche in the second round.
