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.

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

He has one season remaining on his existing seven-year, $37.1 million deal before the new agreement begins.

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.

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

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.
