Slavin recorded one shot on goal to go along with two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
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 -- he's averaging 21:14 of ice time over the last six contests. He should continue to skate on the first pairing alongside Brent Burns.

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

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Continues to impress
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

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

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

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Says he's okay
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

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

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Has two-point game Thursday

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.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Notches OT helper Saturday
Rotowire
Slavin assisted on the game-winning goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.
The helper marked Slavin's seventh point in his last 11 games, but he's been far too inconsistent this season to have a chance of matching the career-high 42 points he notched last year. He still sees plenty of ice time (22:10 average TOI), but the addition of Brent Burns in the offseason has resulted in a reduction in Slavin's power-play minutes this year (0:09 vs. 1:22 last year), which caps Slavin's upside.
