Harley averages 0.15 goals and 0.41 assists per game over 220 games in the model sample, making Saturday's three-point night a significant outlier. He sees 23:07 a night with 1:43 of power-play time per game, ranking eighth among all Dallas skaters in power-play ice time. The two shots match his 1.8-per-game average, suggesting the points came more from opportunity than increased offensive involvement.

His process score of 68 out of 100 among defensemen, based on shots, scoring chances and ice time, indicates moderate offensive upside. Harley averages 0.13 power-play points, 0.5 hits and 1.7 blocks per game. Dallas plays Saturday and Thursday this week, giving him two games left to build on the performance.

What to do

• Hold Harley in all formats and treat Saturday's production as one strong game rather than a sign of elevated form.

• Do not stream Harley based on this performance given his underlying play grades and modest shot averages.

• Monitor his shot totals and power-play minutes over his next two games this week to assess whether his role is changing.
