Slavin (lower body) is on the ice for pregame warmup and will play Tuesday's Game 5 against Nashville, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin has been shelved for Games 2-4 after skating 21:25 in Game 1, and with the Hurricanes having lost back-to-back contests, he'll be a much-welcomed addition to the lineup -- likely in his regular top-pairing role next to Dougie Hamilton.
