Dan Hamhuis News

Hamhuis missed Tuesday's game in Minnesota but will draw back onto the blueline on Thursday. The 37-year-old veteran defenseman has picked up just three assists in his last 30 games.



Hamhuis was a minus-3 with two shots while playing 14:21 ATOI in the first two games of the season. Tonight he will be replaced by Matt Irwin on the Predators third pair.

Hamhuis has missed the last nine games, but will draw back into the Predators lineup on Thursday. Hamhuis, who has just one assist in seven games this season, will replace P.K. Subban in Arizona.

Hamhuis suffered and undisclosed injury vs. the Sharks on Tuesday, leaving the game after playing just 5:13 TOI. With Hamhuis on IR, Anthony Bitetto will likely play on Thursday and Rocco Grimaldi has been called up to take his roster spot.




Hamhuis missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Red Wings and will miss his second straight game on Thursday. With Hamhuis sidelined, Julius Honka will remain in the Stars lineup. Consider him as day-to-day.

Hamhuis suffered a groin injury in the Stars' loss on Saturday and he will not be available for tonight's game vs. the Red Wings. With Hamhuis sidelined, Julius Honka will draw into the lineup for his first game of the season. Consider Hamhuis as day-to-day.

Hamhuis left Saturday’s game after playing just 13:38 TOI and it looks like he could be in danger of missing tomorrow’s contest vs. Detroit. If Hamhuis doesn’t play, Juluis Honka could draw into the lineup for the first time this season.

Hamhuis has picked up just five assists in 21 games in his first season with the Stars. He has been held pointless in his last six games and played a season-low 16:03 TOI on Friday. He will serve as a healthy scratch for the second time this season, which means Patrik Nemeth will draw back into the lineup.

Hamhuis, 33, was heavily rumoured to the Stars at last season’s trade deadline, but he really wanted to stay in Vancouver and finish out the season. He had 13 points (3G / 10A) in 58 games with the Canucks and now lands in Dallas after all. The big loser in this signing is the Canucks, who lose him for nothing. The Stars lost both Kris Russell and Jason Demers in free agency, so Hamhuis comes in and fills that second-pairing defenseman void.


Hamhuis has been out of the lineup since December 9th because of facial fractures and he will miss at least one more month. Don’t expect to see Hamhuis back on the Canucks’ blueline until mid-February.


Hamhuis was hit right near the mouth by a Dan Boyle slapshot and immediately left the ice and was taken to hospital. He was held at the hospital overnight and will likely miss an extended period of time.

Hamhuis missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but will be back in on Monday vs. the Flyers. He has two assists and a plus-1 rating in eight games.
