EDGE Analysis

A strong two-way defenseman, Slavin has reached 15 points on the season, effectively matching his total from the 2020-21 campaign in 23 fewer games.

EDGE Analysis

Don't look now, but Slavin has eight points in 11 games this season, and he's only been held off the scoresheet three times. His recent offensive consistency -- not to mention his current role on the power play in place of the injured Brett Pesce -- makes him a particularly attractive fantasy pickup right now. Take advantage of the hot streak while it lasts.

Slavin picked up two assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old blueliner had a hand in Carolina's final two goals of the night. Slavin has a surprising five points, all helpers, through five games to begin the season, but his lack of power-play time will make it very tough to maintain anything close to that pace.

Slavin recorded an assist for the third time in four games in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Slavin has been surprisingly strong offensively thus far, and he looks intent on making up for a disappointing season last year (15 points in 52 games). He continues to see a ton of ice time (20-plus minutes per game) skating on the Canes' top defensive pairing with some second-line power-play time thrown in. Slavin makes for a good fantasy pickup right now, if he's still available on your league's wire.
