Slavin produced an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin ended a three-game dry spell on offense by setting up a Jordan Martinook tally in the second period. Defense remains Slavin's primary focus on the ice, as he's chipped in a modest four assists with 19 blocked shots, 13 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating over 11 outings this season. His stable top-four role could make him an option in some fantasy formats, but his scoring pace is down from his usual level, in part due to a drop in shot volume.

Slavin logged an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin picked up his third helper of the year on a Seth Jarvis tally in the third period. The 30-year-old Slavin is filling his familiar role with significant usage at even strength and shorthanded with little time on the power play. The defenseman has three assists, eight shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over seven appearances.

Slavin notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Anyone with bets on Slavin for the Lady Byng need not worry about his penalty -- it was for putting a puck over the glass. The notoriously well-behaved defenseman continues to play in a top-pairing role at even strength with just a small trace of power-play time. He's picked up two assists, six shots on net and 10 blocked shots through four contests. If he gets hot on offense, he's worth streaming in fantasy, but he has just one 40-point campaign over his first nine NHL seasons, so Slavin isn't a reliable source of offense.

Slavin signed an eight-year, $51.69 million contract extension with the Hurricanes on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin had six goals, 37 points, a plus-21 rating, 55 hits and 120 blocked shots in 81 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. He has one season remaining on his existing seven-year, $37.1 million deal before the new agreement begins. Slavin is currently a great top-four defenseman, but he's also 30 years old, so the blueliner might undergo a significant decline over the second half of his new contract.

Slavin scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin was limited to one assist over five games versus the Islanders in the first round. He snapped a six-game goal drought with his tally 3:48 into this contest, which tied it at 1-1. Slavin was his usual steady self in the regular season with 37 points, 151 shots on net, 120 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 81 appearances. The 30-year-old defenseman will likely be tasked with heavy defensive minutes in a top-pairing role against the Presidents' Trophy winners.

Slavin (rest) took part in practice Thursday ahead of Game 1 against the Islanders on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin has three multi-point games over his last five outings, tallying a combined seven points over that stretch. The blueliner has been fairly streaky offensively this season, so fantasy players may want to exercise caution when considering him for daily lineups.

Slavin (rest) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's season finale against the Blue Jackets, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin and seven other key Carolina players will sit out Tuesday in order to get some extra rest ahead of Game 1 of the playoffs. Slavin's picked up 37 points and 120 blocks through 81 appearances while skating in a top-four role this campaign.

Slavin recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin has deposited a goal and six helpers to complement a plus-6 rating over the last four games. The playoff-bound Hurricanes are flush with defensemen that hustle on both ends of the ice, and Slavin is no exception as the owner of six goals, 31 assists, 55 hits and 120 blocked shots. While Slavin isn't utilized on the league's eighth-ranked power play (3.38 percent), he does enough at even strength and even shorthanded (two goals, one assist) to stay relevant with the playoffs looming.

Slavin recorded two assists, two PIM, two hits, a blocked shot and six shots on goal in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

With 32 points in 77 games, Slavin has cracked the 30-point plateau for the sixth time in his ninth NHL season. He's unlikely to reach the career-high 42 points he posted two seasons ago, but he's still a solid producer for fantasy managers in deeper formats. He has also been credited with 145 shots on net and 116 blocked shots for some multi-category appeal.

Slavin produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the first period as the Hurricanes grabbed an early 2-1 lead in a roller-coaster contest. Slavin has broken out of the slump he was following the All-Star break -- after managing just three assists in 15 games, he's struck for a goal and seven points over the past eight contests. The surge has given the 29-year-old blueliner 30 points on the season, the sixth time in his nine-year career he's reached that mark.
