Thomas Harley - Page 8 - NHL News & Rumors

Signed before camp opens Harley signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Stars on Tuesday.

Impact 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.

Helpers in consecutive games Harley notched an assist and blocked six shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

Impact The six blocks were one off Harley's playoff high. More notably, he got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row, assisting on a Wyatt Johnston tally in the third period to break up Stuart Skinner's shutout bid. Harley has been limited to four helpers over 18 playoff outings, but he's added 50 blocks, 27 shots on net and a plus-8 rating in a top-four role.

Bags apple in loss Harley notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

Impact 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 Stars' defense if Chris Tanev (lower body) can't suit up Friday in Game 5.

Sets up shortie Harley logged a shorthanded assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

Impact Harley took a shot, and Tyler Seguin was able to knock in the rebound for the 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. 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.

MAY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first point of postseason 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.

Impact 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.

MAY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Adds helper in win Harley notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Harley has rebounded in April with seven helpers over his last six games. The 22-year-old defenseman has gone 12 games without a goal, but that's likely just regression after he scored 15 times in his first 66 contests. He's at 47 points, 144 shots on net, 134 blocked shots and a plus-27 rating through 78 contests in his first full season.

APRIL 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two more assists in win Harley notched a pair of assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Harley set up Wyatt Johnson's goal 3:38 into the third period before adding a second helper on Joe Pavelski's eventual game-winning tally later in the frame. The 22-year-old blueliner now has five assists in his last two games after notching three power-play assists in Sunday's win over Colorado. Harley's up to 47 points (15 goals, 32 assists) through 76 games while earning a top-pairing spot alongside Miro Heiskanen this season.

APRIL 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three power-play helpers in win Harley registered three power-play assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Good things happened for the Stars when Harley was on the ice. The 22-year-old defenseman is finding his touch again with four helpers over his last three outings, and he contributed on the power play for the first time since Feb. 26. Harley has 15 goals, 29 assists, nine power-play points, 139 shots on net, 131 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating through 75 appearances in an excellent breakout campaign.

APRIL 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records assist in win Harley notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Oilers.

Impact Harley set up Wyatt Johnston's goal in the second period. The 22-year-old Harley entered Wednesday with no points over his last four outings. He's gotten a little streaky down the stretch, but he's also see top-pairing minutes and all of the tough defensive assignments that come with that role. On the year, he has 41 points, 137 shots on net, 129 blocked shots, 61 hits and a plus-25 rating through 73 contests.

APRIL 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches 40-point mark Harley logged an assist, six hits and five blocked shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Harley's point streak is up to four games (one goal, four assists). He showed off an unusually high amount of physicality Friday as well -- the six hits were a season high, and it was the third time he's blocked at least five shots in a game. The 22-year-old defenseman has 40 points, 129 shots on net, 120 blocked shots, 57 hits and a plus-19 rating over 68 outings on the year.

MARCH 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Offers helper Wednesday Harley logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Harley set up a Jason Robertson tally in the third period. With four points over his last three games, Harley has bounced back nicely from a swoon in early March. The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 39 points, 128 shots on net, 115 blocked shots, 51 hits and a plus-18 rating over 67 appearances.

MARCH 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

The 22-year-old defenseman has enjoyed a massive breakout year with 15 goals, 38 points, 127 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating over 66 appearances. He continues to have strong fantasy appeal in a top-pairing role.

Ends seven-game slump Harley registered an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact Harley snapped a seven-game point drought. He had just one helper over his previous 11 contests, his first real taste of adversity on offense this season. The 22-year-old defenseman has 36 points, 124 shots on net, 111 blocked shots, 49 hits and a plus-16 rating through 65 appearances. Despite the slump, Harley remains on the top pairing and second power-play unit, so he'll continue to have some fantasy upside if he can turn things around.

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Steps up for depleted blue line Harley logged an assist, two shots on goal and five blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.

Impact Harley led the Stars with 29:13 of ice time, taking on extra work with Miro Heiskanen (personal) joining Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) and Nils Lundkvist (concussion) amid the team's absences on the blue line. This game was further proof Harley is capable of playing a top-pairing role as a rising start among the NHL's defensemen. He's put up a strong season with 14 goals, 34 points, 103 shots on net, 97 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating through 53 appearances. Harley has earned 13 of his points over the last 12 contests, so he seems to be growing as the Stars continue to challenge him with tougher assignments.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in with helper Harley recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Harley hasn't had a dry spell longer than two games since early December. The 22-year-old defenseman has just two points over five games since the All-Star break, but he's also been on the top pairing alongside Miro Heiskanen, which means much tougher defensive matchups. That pairing also tends to split the bulk of the blue-line production in Dallas, but both are solid fantasy options. Harley has 31 points, 97 shots on net, 90 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 51 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nets tying goal Saturday Harley scored a goal on eight shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Harley scored at 3:51 of the second period, answering Nick Suzuki's opening goal in the opening minute of the frame. After two scoreless outings following the All-Star break, Harley's back on the scoresheet, alleviating any fears of a prolonged slump. The 22-year-old defenseman has enjoyed a huge breakout this season with 13 goals, 30 points, 95 shots on net, 82 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 49 contests. He's on the Stars' top pairing and second power-play unit, though sustaining his 13.7 shooting percentage will likely be difficult.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two goals including OT winner Harley scored two goals including the game-winner in Saturday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Capitals.

Impact The 22-year-old blueliner stayed hot, scoring the OT winner for the second straight game as he delivered his fourth multi-point performance in the last five contests. Harley heads into the All-Star break with an impressive 12 goals and 29 points in 46 games on the season, but with Miro Heiskanen healthy the younger defenseman has lost his spot on the power play. As a result, it will be tough for him to maintain that scoring pace when the Stars resume their schedule after the All-Star break.

Two more points Thursday Harley notched a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

Impact Harley picked up an assist on Miro Heiskanen's game-tying tally in the third period before scoring the game-winner 38 seconds into overtime, going coast-to-coast before beating John Gibson with a wrist shot. Harley now has three multi-point efforts in his last four games, totaling a goal and five assists in that span. He's now up to 27 points (10 goals, 17 assists) through 45 games this season. While Harley's role will likely reduce with Heiskanen's return, the 22-year-old blueliner has shown the offensive ability to remain a strong fantasy asset.

Two points in Tuesday's win Harley picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact The 22-year-old continues to thrive in the absence of Miro Heiskanen (lower body). In the 10 games the senior blueliner has missed so far, Harley has eight helpers, including two on the power play. Heiskanen could be back in the lineup by this weekend, however, so Harley's run of fantasy excellence could be coming to an end.
