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