Joel Hanley To Miss Remainder Of Season | Calgary Flames Defenceman out with upper-body injury

MARCH 28 • NHL.COM

Could be gone for season Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan, Hanley (undisclosed) is likely out for the remainder of the season, according to head coach Ryan Huska on Saturday.

Impact Hanley was injured Thursday versus Anaheim. The defenseman will end the season with seven assists, 90 blocked shots and 42 hits over 68 regular-season games. He should be ready for the start of training camp in September.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play Monday Hanley (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup versus the Capitals on Monday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Hanley will be back in action after missing just one game due to his illness. The defenseman has yet to find the back of the net in 58 games this season and has managed a lone helper in his previous 22 outings. Given his lack of offensive upside, fantasy managers will want to pursue alternative fantasy options on the blue line.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Saturday's clash Hanley (illness) will miss Saturday's home game against the Hurricanes due to an illness, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Impact Hanley was reported to be under the weather Saturday, meaning he'll miss his first game since Nov. 18. The 34-year-old blueliner has seven assists, 34 shots on goal, 38 hits and 76 blocked shots across 58 games this season. In his absence, the newly acquired Olli Maatta is set to make his debut for Calgary and should occupy Hanley's spot on the depth chart. Hanley's next chance to return is Monday's matchup against the Capitals, which marks the start of Calgary's upcoming road trip.

Picks up assist Monday Hanley notched an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Hanley ended a month-long point drought with the helper on a Nazem Kadri goal. During that 15-game slump, Hanley had 10 hits, 13 blocks and a minus-5 rating. The 34-year-old defenseman is still firmly in a third-pairing role, but he could face challenges for playing time as the Flames look to get Zayne Parekh and Hunter Brzustewicz some on-the-job experience. Hanley is at seven assists, 29 shots on net, 27 PIM, 34 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 52 appearances this season.

Nabs helper in overtime win Hanley logged an assist in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact The Flames leaned on their top four in this contest, with Hanley seeing just 9:25 of ice time, a season-low total. He's earned three helpers over 12 outings in December for his most productive month of the campaign. Overall, the veteran blueliner has six assists, 26 shots on net, 25 PIM, 24 hits and 50 blocked shots through 36 appearances this season.

Deals assist in win Hanley logged an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Hanley helped out on a Matthew Coronato goal in the third period. This ended a 10-game point drought for Hanley, who was also a healthy scratch three times in that span. Hanley, Jake Bean and Brayden Pachal have been in contention for two spots in the lineup for much of the last month or so, and that will continue with Zayne Parekh (upper body) expected to be loaned to Canada's World Junior Championship team soon. Through 26 outings, Hanley has four helpers, 17 shots on net, 22 hits, 36 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-2 rating.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gathers assist Sunday Hanley logged an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact The helper was Hanley's first point in 10 appearances this season. He's been a regular in the lineup while Jake Bean, Zayne Parekh and Brayden Pachal battle for minutes. Hanley's overall play hasn't been all that impressive -- he has a minus-4 rating with 17 blocked shots, seven hits and six shots on net. The 34-year-old is likely to see no more than a third-pairing role throughout the season.

Flames Re-Sign Joel Hanley | Calgary Flames Veteran blueliner stays in Calgary on a two-year deal

JULY 1, 2025 • NHL.COM

Signs two-year deal Hanley put pen to paper on a two-year, $3.5 million contract with Calgary on Tuesday.

Impact Hanley isn't exactly an offensive dynamo, considering he managed just two goals and seven helpers in 53 regular-season appearances last year. Still, the veteran blueliner should fill a bottom-pairing role as a shutdown defenseman. Hanley doesn't offer enough in terms of PIM or hits to give him much in the way of fantasy value outside the deepest of formats.
