Produces assist in win Harley notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact Harley has three helpers over six games in November, providing steady scoring for a defenseman. The 23-year-old is up to eight points, 30 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 15 outings. The Stars are still toying around with their defensive pairings, but Harley continues to see significant minutes in all situations and should provide stable production throughout the campaign.

Snags helper Harley logged an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers in Finland.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Points in three straight Harley registered an assist and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Harley has earned a goal and two assists during his three-game point streak. The 23-year-old defenseman has five points, 19 shots on net, nine blocked shots, six hits and a plus-6 rating over nine appearances this season. That's a similar pace to last season, when he had 47 points in 79 regular-season outings. Harley is unlikely to shoot 10.4 percent as he did in 2023-24, but he should make up the difference with helpers.

Buries goal in loss Harley scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact 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.

Nabs assist Sunday Harley provided an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Hands out helper Harley recorded an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Harley began 2024-25 on the second pairing with Ilya Lyubushkin, as the 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Harley has rebounded in April with seven helpers over his last six games.

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 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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.

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.
