Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley (illness) is a game-time decision for Monday's meeting with Washington. He appears to be the latest victim of a flu bug that has recently spread in the Stars locker room. Harley's absence would be a massive loss for the team, as the young blue-liner eats up over 22 minutes of ice time on a nightly basis and contributes at both ends of the ice. In 29 appearances, Harley has notched 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) with 66 shots and 35 blocks. He leads the team with a plus-15 rating. Nils Lundkvist (illness) is expected back on Monday and looks to be Harley's replacement in the lineup if the latter does not feel well enough to play.
Thomas Harley Agrees To Two-Year Contract With Stars
Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley has signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the club ahead of the start of training camp. Harley needed to get a new contract done before the camp because he was a restricted free agent. The Stars have seen Harley quickly blossom into a highly productive blue-liner. Only seven defensemen in the league managed more than his 15 goals last season, while Harley collected 47 points overall across 79 outings. The 23-year-old fired off 144 shots on goal and also did his part defensively with 135 blocks. With him locked into a top-four role and getting regular power-play time, it's safe to assume Harley will enjoy another good season in 2024-25.

The 22-year-old has produced three goals and two assists with a plus-two rating in 14 appearances this season. Harley's injury has opened the door for veteran Joel Hanley to enter the lineup.
