WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Stars sent defenseman Thomas Harley down to AHL affiliate Texas, it kick-started an experiment. When the Stars opened the season in Nashville, Harley was not with them, relegated to playing in the AHL. Now, he’s been on the power play, he’s been up in the rush offensively. He’s the only Texas defenseman that regularly kills penalties and plays on the power play. “For most of my youth hockey and junior [career], there was no real coach that I had that was a defenseman,” Harley said.
