WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Stars defenseman Thomas Harley will make his season debut on Tuesday night against the Jets, occupying the third pairing alongside Jani Hakanpää. It’s not Harley’s NHL debut — he played against Colorado during the 2020 round robin during the playoffs — but it will be his first career NHL regular-season game and first NHL game in front of fans.
