Slavin (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how exactly Slavin was injured, but he was ruled out for the rest of the game during the first intermission. It's a big loss for the Hurricanes, who rely on Slavin as a minutes-eating defenseman in a defensive role. His status ahead of Monday's rematch with the Predators is to be determined.
