Harley scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
Harley continues to surge on offense with two goals and seven assists over his last seven contests. While he had an assist Saturday versus the Oilers, he also took a minus-3 rating in one of his worst defensive performances of the year, but he bounced back with a solid all-around effort Sunday. Harley is now at 12 goals, 39 points, 133 shots on net, 86 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating through 62 appearances. Concerns over the sustainability of his 15-goal, 47-point campaign in 2023-24 have at least partially been alleviated by his continued strong play in 2024-25, which has him on track to finish with similar scoring numbers.

Rotowire
Harley notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
Harley had a bit of a rough game on defense, but he was still able to chip in his eighth point over the last six games when he assisted on Mikko Rantanen's first goal as a Star. The 23-year-old Harley is up to 11 goals, 27 helpers, 11 power-play points, 130 shots on net, 86 blocks and a plus-25 rating over 61 appearances this season. Harley took a bridge deal as a restricted free agent this past September, and he'll regain that status, plus arbitration rights, after next season, at which point he'll likely be due a large raise as part of an impressive core in Dallas.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Helps out twice on power play
Rotowire
Harley recorded two power-play assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Blues.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Provides pair of helpers in win
Rotowire
Harley logged two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Harley set up Jason Robertson on the opening goal and also helped out on a Wyatt Johnston power-play tally in the second period. This was a memorable February for Harley, who had three goals and six assists across eight NHL games while also filling in with Team Canada as an injury replacement during the 4 Nations Face-Off. It's quite likely he'll be in consideration for the Olympic roster next year as well. The 23-year-old blueliner is up to 10 goals, 23 assists, 121 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and a plus-29 rating over 57 appearances in 2024-25.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Three-game goal streak
Rotowire
Harley nabbed a power-play goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over New Jersey.
Harley put the Stars up 2-0 with a wrist shot from the top of the left face-off circle at 5:44 of the first period. It was his 10th goal of the season, and it extended his goal streak to three games (three goals, one assist). Harley was a mid-tourney addition to Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off when the team was hit with both injuries and illness, and he acquitted himself well. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if his soaring confidence results in an uptick in production back on NHL ice.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Gets assist in 4 Nations win
Rotowire
Harley picked up an assist in Canada's 3-2 overtime win over the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off Final on Thursday.
Harley was a late addition to Team Canada, but he ultimately helped the team hoist the 4 Nations Cup. He slotted into the match when Shea Theodore was unable to dress due to an illness. Harley had a few bobbles Thursday, but overall, he played remarkably well on a massive stage. He may have even played himself into consideration for Canada's 2026 Olympic team.

Rotowire
Harley scored an even-strength goal and added two power-play assists in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.
He also chipped in a team-high six shots on net, two blocked shots and two PIM. Harley has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, and over the last four contests, he's piled up two goals and six points -- an impressive surge considering the 23-year-old blueliner hadn't gotten onto the scoresheet in consecutive games since late October. On the season, Harley has six goals and 21 points over 37 appearances with 85 shots, 44 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating that's tied for third among all NHL defensemen, behind only Brayden McNabb (plus-24) and Jake Middleton (plus-22).

Stars' Thomas Harley: Game-time call against Friday
Rotowire
Harley (illness) will once again be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup with the Rangers, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
The flu bug continues to hamper the Stars, with both Harley and Nils Lundkvist still in doubt Friday as a result. Lian Bichsel is the only spare blueliner for Dallas, which means the team is likely expecting either Harley or Lundkvist to play, otherwise the Stars might have to roll with just five defensemen.

Harley (illness) is not expected to play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
Harley will miss a second straight game with the flu bug that's going through the Stars' locker room. The 23-year-old defenseman's absence is a big one, especially with Nils Lundkvist also sick, which will lead to Brendan Smith and Alex Petrovic playing in Wednesday's contest.

Stars' Thomas Harley: Game-time call Wednesday
Rotowire
Harley (illness) will likely be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Toronto, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Head coach Peter DeBoer said that the Stars will have some game-time decisions because the flu is making its way through the team. While Harley wasn't mentioned by name, it stands to reason that he'll be among those questionable after missing Monday's 3-1 win against Washington due to an illness. The 23-year-old defenseman has four goals and 14 points in 29 appearances in 2024-25.
