Slavin (lower body) is on the ice for Sunday's practice, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news bodes well for Slavin's chances of returning in Game 1 against Nashville on Monday. Slavin sat out the last game of the regular season with the injury and finished up a disappointing (offensively) campaign with just 15 points in 52 games, though his plus-22 rating was a nice treat for fantasy managers.
