Slavin produced an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Slavin ended a nine-game point drought with this helper. The 30-year-old defenseman has just two assists over his last 17 outings as he continues to focus on taking care of the defensive zone first. He's at nine points, 33 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 31 contests this year.
Slavin notched an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
Slavin ended a six-game slump when he helped out on Andrei Svechnikov's empty-netter. The Hurricanes haven't gotten a lot of offense out of their top pairing (Slavin and Brent Burns), but Slavin's been the more productive of the two with eight points over 21 outings. He's added 25 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating as a high-end shutdown defender.

Rotowire
Slavin recorded two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Slavin assisted on his team's fourth and fifth goals, giving him six helpers on the year and his first multi-point effort of the campaign. He has seven points in 14 games this season, and while the season is still young, he's on pace to come close to his career best of 42 points (four goals, 38 assists) from 2021-22 -- as long as he stays healthy throughout the campaign.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Bulges twine in win
Rotowire
Slavin scored a goal and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
Slavin unleashed a shot from the point that got past Alex Nedeljkovic to give the Hurricanes a 4-0 lead in the second period. Slavin has gotten on the scoresheet in each of the last two games, though the 30-year-old blueliner is rarely one to go on extended runs of offense. He's up to five points, 14 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 12 contests this season. He can help fantasy managers who need blocks and a positive plus-minus rating without hurting their offense too much.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Snags helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Slavin produced an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.
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.

Rotowire
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.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Slings assist in loss
Rotowire
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.
Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Locked up for eight years
Rotowire
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.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Stock up with playoffs near
Rotowire
Slavin recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
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.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Stuffs stat sheet Friday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Two points in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Slavin produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Capitals.
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.
Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Two helpers in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Slavin collected two assists in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.
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.
