Slavin (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Carolina recalled Joel Nystrom from AHL Chicago in a corresponding move. Slavin is week-to-week, and it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances this season while providing four shots on goal and eight blocked shots.

The Hurricanes announced Monday that Slavin is considered week-to-week due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin recently returned from a two-month absence due to a lower-body issue, but he's dealing with a separate injury ahead of the holiday break that will force him to miss more time. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but it seems possible that the Hurricanes will elect to place him on injured reserve, especially if he's slated to be sidelined after the holiday break.

Slavin (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 29-game absence, Slavin appears to be ready to return to the lineup against Philadelphia on Sunday. He hasn't earned a point in two appearances this season while posting two shots on net and three blocked shots.

Slavin (lower body) participated in Tuesday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was Slavin's first time back on the ice since he suffered an injury Oct. 11. The 31-year-old's status wasn't updated by the team, but this attendance at practice suggests he is starting to ramp up. Considering the length of his absence, he will likely need a handful of practices before being ready to play again, so his return is not yet imminent.

Slavin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Hurricanes on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin sustained a lower-body injury during Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers, and head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that the defenseman would be "out for a while." As a result, it isn't particularly surprising to see Slavin land on injured reserve, officially sidelining him for multiple games. Mike Reilly will likely continue to see playing time in Slavin's absence.

According to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site, Slavin (lower body) won't be an option against San Jose on Tuesday, and the defenseman didn't accompany the Hurricanes on the team's six-game road trip.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour told Ruff on Tuesday that Slavin will be kept "out for a while." If the 31-year-old blueliner misses the entirety of the road trip, his next opportunity to play will come against Vegas on Oct. 28. Slavin will be replaced in Tuesday's lineup by Mike Reilly.

According to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site, Slavin (lower body) didn't participate in Monday's practice, and it's unclear if he will travel the Hurricanes for the start of the team's six-game road trip.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin is still undergoing evaluations after suffering an injury in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Philadelphia. He hasn't earned a point in two appearances this season while posting two shots on goal and three blocked shots. If Slavin is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup against San Jose, Mike Reilly will probably make his season debut.

Slavin is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury sustained in Saturday's game versus the Flyers, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin came out of the game during the third period. The injury leaves him day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest in San Jose, which is the start of a six-game road trip out west for the Hurricanes. If Slavin misses time, Mike Reilly will enter the lineup.

Slavin (undisclosed) is good to play in Carolina's season opener against New Jersey on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin recorded six goals, 27 points and 136 blocks in 80 regular-season appearances with Carolina in 2024-25. The 31-year-old is likely to play on the first pairing, but he probably won't see time with the man advantage versus the Devils.

Slavin (undisclosed) was on the ice in a non-contact sweater Tuesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin isn't expected to participate in any preseason games as he works his way back from injury, but the fact that he was on the ice is a step in the right direction. The veteran blueliner still has some time to get to 100 percent prior to Opening Night against the Devils on Oct. 9. While Slavin is unlikely to offer any power-play production -- he hasn't registered a point with the man advantage since 2021-22 -- he should still be capable of challenging for the 30-point threshold.
