Stars' Thomas Harley Out Week-to-Week With Lower-Body Injury
Dallas turns to replacements with a strong record reducing the short-term risk.
Overview
- Team officials announced the week-to-week designation on Saturday night after recent game-time decisions for the defenseman.
- Reports indicate Harley had been playing through the lower-body issue before the update was made public.
- Kyle Capobianco is expected to step in short term based on roster and cap considerations.
- Lian Bichsel is slated for a larger role in the top four alongside Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell.
- Harley has 10 points in 19 games after a 50-point season last year and signed a long-term extension earlier this season as Dallas holds a standings cushion during a hot stretch.
