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

Impact Now 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 points producer for fantasy managers in deeper formats, with good exposure to a number of peripheral stat categories as well.

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

Impact 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 in after the All-Star break -- after managing just three assists in 15 games post-ASB, he's struck for a goal and seven points over the last 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.

Two helpers in Thursday's win Slavin collected two assists in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact The 29-year-old blueliner helped set up a Seth Jarvis tally late in the first period that proved to be the game-winner, before getting credited with an assist on Andrei Svechnikov's fluky empty-netter in the third. Slavin was ice cold coming out of the All-Star break, managing only three assists in 15 games, but he's now matched that output over the last three contests. He hasn't found the back of the net since Christmas, however, with his goal drought now standing at 32 games.

Picks up assist Slavin registered an assist in a 5-2 victory over Colorado on Thursday.

Impact Slavin remains mired in a 16-game goal drought during which he has registered a mere 16 shots while chipping in two helpers. The blueliner once again is unlikely to reach the 40-point threshold, a mark he hit back in 2021-22, in part due to his lack of power-play opportunities.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

On pace for career season Slavin registered a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Slavin continues to see healthy minutes (21:11 TOI) on the Canes' top defensive pairing alongside Brent Burns. He's now up to 18 points (3G, 15A) in 33 games, which puts him on pace for a career-high 44-point season. He makes for a good waiver-wire pickup in most formats right now.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps rolling with assist Slavin managed an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Slavin has an assist in three straight games, and he's collected six helpers over his last six outings. The 29-year-old defenseman helped out on Jordan Martinook's first goal of the campaign at 7:23 of the second period. Slavin had a rough stretch in early November, but he's putting together a strong season with 17 points, 62 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 27 appearances.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs another helper Slavin logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact Slavin has recorded five assists over his last five games. He took a shot off a faceoff win by Jack Drury, and Stefan Noesen tipped it in at 2:10 of the first period for the opening goal. Slavin is up to 16 points, 60 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 26 contests. One of the top defensive defensemen in the league, the 29-year-old is also on a pace that could allow him to challenge his career high of 42 points from the 2021-22 campaign.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up lone tally in loss Slavin notched an assist, six shots on goal and four hits in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Slavin set up Jordan Staal's third-period tally to break up the shutout bid. The helper was Slavin's fourth over the last four contests, and he's logged eight assists and a plus-7 rating across his last 11 games. It's not quite the heater he had at the start of the campaign, but the 29-year-old remains a steady top-four option for Carolina. He has 15 points, 58 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 25 appearances overall.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

One shot in win Slavin recorded one shot on goal to go along with two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact Slavin has had himself a nice six-game stretch recording three assists and five shots on goal. The 29-year-old is playing heavy minutes and is averaging 21:14 minutes of ice time in this span. He will continue to be on the first defensive pairing alongside Brent Burns and be on the second power-play unit.

Breaks out of slump Slavin registered an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Lightning.

Impact Slavin stormed out of the gate with three goals and four assists through six October contests, but the subsequent eight-game stretch saw the top-pairing defenseman turn in nothing but box-score goose eggs for goals and assists. Oddly enough, only one of his eight points have taken place on home ice, and that was his shorthanded tally to cap off an Opening Night win against the Senators.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to impress Slavin scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, blocked three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact The Denver native produced a big game in his hometown, albeit in a losing effort for the visiting Hurricanes. Slavin's defensive prowess is well-documented, but he's opened this season with three goals and four assists over six contests. The 29-year-old has added 16 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating, showing consistent success defensively despite the Hurricanes giving up 30 goals through their first six games of the season. His career high in points is 42 in 79 outings during the 2021-22 campaign, so his scoring will likely dip eventually.

Draws two helpers Slavin registered two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Slavin earned his first multi-point effort of the season. He's been hot on offense with two shorthanded goals and three even-strength assists over five contests. The steady defenseman has also produced 10 blocked shots, 12 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating from his top-pairing role. His offense will likely eventually slow down, but he should remain a reliable producer in the defensive metrics.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pots shorthanded goal Slavin scored a shorthanded goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Both of Slavin's tallies this season have come while killing a penalty. The defenseman gave the Hurricanes their first lead with his second-period marker. He's up to three points, 12 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through four contests overall. Slavin doesn't post the gaudiest scoring numbers, but he's a solid contributor in defensive statistics in a top-four role.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adds assist Saturday Slavin logged an assist, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Kings.

Impact Slavin has stood out even with the Hurricanes' crowded blue line so far. He has a shorthanded goal, an assist, a plus-3 rating, four shots on net and five blocked shots through two contests. He set up Brent Burns' opening tally in the first period. While Slavin sees next to nothing on the power play, his top-four role at even strength and the Hurricanes' strong offense should still allow him to produce respectable offense.

OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers upper-body injury Slavin won't return to Wednesday's Game 4 versus the Panthers after suffering an upper-body injury in the first period.

Impact Slavin was hit hard by Sam Bennett early in the contest. The hit left Slavin wobbly on his skates, and it's certainly not a good sign that he was ruled out for the game before the first intermission. Given the nature of the hit, it seems doubtful Slavin would be able to play Friday if the Hurricanes are able to force a Game 5.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Says he's okay Slavin (upper body) said he was okay after leaving Wednesday's Game 4 versus the Panthers in the first period, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact Slavin's early exit likely didn't help the Hurricanes as they took a 4-3 loss, but he was available to talk to the media in the locker room following the loss. While his status might have been in doubt had the Hurricanes forced a Game 5, it's unlikely the injury will have any impact on his availability for 2023-24. He had six points over 15 playoff contests.

Tallies second goal of postseason Slavin scored his second goal of the postseason during Thursday's 3-2 overtime win against the Devils.

Impact Slavin is known for his defensive prowess more than his offensive contributions. Yet, he has been contributing offensively during Carolina's second-round series. His assist in Thursday's game gives him assists in four straight games to go with his plus-9 rating over that stretch. He is not a risk-free play, but he has the potential to be a sneaky depth play right now when there are limited options available.

Chips in two points in Game 2 Slavin had a goal and an assist in Carolina's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Impact Slavin was quiet over his previous nine outings, contributing just two assists in that span. Over 76 regular-season contests, he had seven goals and 27 points, which was down from 42 points in 2021-22. Slavin played a key role Wednesday though, helping out on Paul Stastny's marker early in the first period, and then finding the back of the net himself midway through the third to tie the game at 3-3.

Has two-point game Thursday Slavin provided a goal and an assist in a 3-2 loss to Detroit on Thursday.

Impact Slavin's marker early in the second period put Carolina up 2-1, but the Hurricanes couldn't hold onto that lead. He's up to seven goals and 25 points in 68 contests this season, though that's still well behind his 2021-22 finish of 42 points. Slavin has two goals and five points over his last 12 outings.
