Stars' Thomas Harley: Goal, assist in home victory
Rotowire
Harley scored a goal on three shots, registered an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
Harley provided an assist on Roope Hintz's power-play goal in the first period and added a goal of his own later in the frame. Harley has not looked out of place as the Stars' No. 1 defenseman while Miro Heiskanen works his way back from a knee injury. Even when Heiskanen is ready to return, which could be as soon as Game 4 on Tuesday, Harley may continue to quarterback the top power-play unit in the short term considering the former's long layoff. Harley has accounted for three markers, eight points and a minus-6 rating over 10 postseason outings.
Harley logged an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets in Game 1.

He's at two goals, four assists, 12 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-4 rating. The blueliner continues to see big minutes in a top-four role and on the power play, and he has the production to match.

Rotowire
Harley logged a power-play assist and six blocked shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.
Harley set up Roope Hintz's third-period tally. The 23-year-old Harley had 26 points and a plus-7 rating over 29 contests between the start of February and the end of the regular season. Harley will function as the Stars' top blueliner until Miro Heiskanen (knee) returns but will probably retain a heavy workload once Heiskanen is back in the lineup. With 50 points and a plus-32 rating in 78 regular-season outings, Harley can handle big minutes in all situations.
Harley (rest) is back in the lineup Wednesday versus the Predators, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Harley was out for two games to rest before the playoffs. The return of Tyler Seguin made Lian Bichsel and Alex Petrovic cap casualties for the season finale, but Harley is able to suit up and should see top-four minutes with power-play time.

After Saturday, the Stars play on the road, with stops in Detroit on Monday and at Nashville on Wednesday to conclude the regular season.
