  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Slafkovsky scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Hurricanes. Slafkovsky has scored in back-to-back games and has points in three straight. The 20-year-old winger has also turned up the physicality as he looks to model his game into that of a power forward. He had some rough stretches in November and December, but Slafkovsky appears poised to evolve his playing style to adapt to the rigors of the league. He's up to 10 goals, 22 assists, 78 shots on net, 133 hits, 25 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 55 appearances. A strong finish to 2024-25 likely won't be enough for the Canadiens in the playoff race, but it bodes well for Slafkovsky having the right mentality moving forward.

  Slafkovsky scored a goal on five shots, racked up eight hits and added a fighting major in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators. Slafkovsky showed some power-winger potential with this performance. He provided an insurance tally in the second period and dropped the mitts with Ottawa's Ridly Greig in the third. Slafkovsky had just one assist over six games prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, but the two-week break may have served the 20-year-old winger well to rest up for the stretch run. He's now at nine goals, 31 points, 76 shots on net, 129 hits, 39 blocked shots, 25 PIM And a minus-9 rating through 54 appearances.

  Slafkovsky notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning. Slafkovsky was good in January with eight points over 14 outings, but he turned cold to begin February on a four-game drought. He was able to snap the slump Sunday when he helped out on a Christian Dvorak tally in the second period. Slafkovsky is up to 30 points, 71 shots on net, 121 hits and a minus-10 rating over 53 appearances. He is on pace to fall short of the 20-goal and 50-point marks he achieved in 2023-24, making this a disappointing third campaign for the No. 1 pick from 2022.
