Slavin scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin was limited to one assist over five games versus the Islanders in the first round. He snapped a six-game goal drought with his tally 3:48 into this contest, which tied it at 1-1. Slavin was his usual steady self in the regular season with 37 points, 151 shots on net, 120 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 81 appearances. The 30-year-old defenseman will likely be tasked with heavy defensive minutes in a top-pairing role against the Presidents' Trophy winners.

Slavin (rest) took part in practice Thursday ahead of Game 1 against the Islanders on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin has three multi-point games over his last five outings, tallying a combined seven points over that stretch. The blueliner has been fairly streaky offensively this season, so fantasy players may want to exercise caution when considering him for daily lineups.

Slavin (rest) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's season finale against the Blue Jackets, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin and seven other key Carolina players will sit out Tuesday in order to get some extra rest ahead of Game 1 of the playoffs. Slavin's picked up 37 points and 120 blocks through 81 appearances while skating in a top-four role this campaign.

Slavin recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin has deposited a goal and six helpers to complement a plus-6 rating over the last four games. The playoff-bound Hurricanes are flush with defensemen that hustle on both ends of the ice, and Slavin is no exception as the owner of six goals, 31 assists, 55 hits and 120 blocked shots. While Slavin isn't utilized on the league's eighth-ranked power play (3.38 percent), he does enough at even strength and even shorthanded (two goals, one assist) to stay relevant with the playoffs looming.

Slavin recorded two assists, two PIM, two hits, a blocked shot and six shots on goal in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

With 32 points in 77 games, Slavin has cracked the 30-point plateau for the sixth time in his ninth NHL season. He's unlikely to reach the career-high 42 points he posted two seasons ago, but he's still a solid producer for fantasy managers in deeper formats. He has also been credited with 145 shots on net and 116 blocked shots for some multi-category appeal.

Slavin produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the first period as the Hurricanes grabbed an early 2-1 lead in a roller-coaster contest. Slavin has broken out of the slump he was following the All-Star break -- after managing just three assists in 15 games, he's struck for a goal and seven points over the past eight contests. The surge has given the 29-year-old blueliner 30 points on the season, the sixth time in his nine-year career he's reached that mark.

Slavin collected two assists in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old blueliner helped set up a Seth Jarvis tally late in the first period that proved to be the game-winner, before getting credited with an assist on Andrei Svechnikov's fluky empty-netter in the third. Slavin was ice cold coming out of the All-Star break, managing only three assists in 15 games, but he's now matched that output over the last three contests. He hasn't found the back of the net since Christmas however, with his goal drought now standing at 32 games.

Slavin registered an assist in a 5-2 victory over Colorado on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin remains mired in a 16-game goal drought during which he has registered a mere 16 shots while chipping in two helpers. The blueliner once again is unlikely to reach the 40-point threshold, a mark he hit back in 2021-22, in part due to his lack of power-play opportunities.

Slavin registered a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin continues to see healthy minutes (21:11 TOI) on the Canes' top defensive pairing alongside Brent Burns. He's up to 19 points in 34 games, which puts him on pace to surpass his previous high of 42 points. Slavin makes for a good waiver-wire pickup for managers in search of help on the blue line.

Slavin managed an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin has an assist in three straight games, and he's collected six helpers over his last six outings. The 29-year-old defenseman helped out on Jordan Martinook's first goal of the campaign at 7:23 of the second period. Slavin had a rough stretch in early November, but he's putting together a strong season with 17 points, 62 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 27 appearances.
