To begin the season, Joel Hanley was around 10th on the depth chart for the Dallas Stars. However, with injuries sustained by John Klingberg, Marc Methot, Stephen Johns and Connor Carrick, Hanley has found himself in the lineup logging respectable minutes night in and night out. He’s one of the defensive call-ups that Jim Montgomery has recently praised as “saving their season.”
Hanley has played in 15 games for the Stars, and logged an average ice time of 13:46 while registering eight shots, no points, and 16 hits.
