Slavin (lower body) will not be in Friday's Game 3 lineup against Nashville, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin will miss his second straight game after leading the Hurricanes in ice time during Game 1. The 27-year-old appears to be dealing with a nagging issue and could be a game-time call on a regular basis this postseason. He'll be questionable for Game 4 on Sunday.
