The Stars are fighting for their playoff lives and Harley will be left aside once again. Andrej Sekera, Alexander Radulov and Denis Gurianov will also be scratched.

Harley is a former first round pick that has yet to dress in this series. Jacob Peterson, Andrej Sekera and Marian Studenic will also be scratched.

Harley didn't skate in the Game 1 loss to the Flames either. The 20-year-old had just four points in 34 games during the regular season, but his upside is undeniable. Jacob Peterson, Andrej Sekera, and Marian Studenic will also be scratched tonight. 

Harley was second in the AHL among defensemen in power play points last season and the thought was that Harley would get a chance to play with Heiskanen out, but that was not to be. Despite this, coach Rick Bowness thinks that he will get his chance on the man-advantage soon. “He’s right there,” Bowness said. “You see him more and more, you’ve got to give him a chance to get comfortable. He made an awesome play on that second goal. He’ll get a look.” Harley was taken 18th overall in the first round in 2019 due to his strong offensive game.
