Slavin posted his first point of the season, assisting on the eventual game-winning goal Thursday against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin enjoyed a terrific debut season with the Canes last year, ranking fifth among rookie blueliners with 20 points. This year, he's already seeing more ice time compared to last year (22:11 vs. 20:59), although a significant portion of that is being spent on the penalty kill (4:38). For now, given his top-four role on the Canes' blue line, Slavin represents a decent mid-tier fantasy defenseman option in most standard formats.
