Slavin notched an assist, four blocked shots and two hits in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin provided the secondary helper on a Nino Niederreiter goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Slavin has managed two assists, 11 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through five contests. Expect the defenseman to carry more weight in fantasy formats that reward blocks, as his offense will likely remain fairly modest.
