Slavin scored a goal and recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.
Slavin broke the deadlock for the Hurricanes with a snap shot in the final minute of the second period to give the Hurricanes the lead, and he also set up the game-winning goal, scored by Sebastian Aho, with only 1:44 left in overtime. Slavin has only four points over nine games since the beginning of February, though, so he's not likely to be a regular fantasy contributor going forward.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Lights lamp in loss
Rotowire
Slavin scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Slavin's defense was on display for the world to see during his time with Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 30-year-old didn't have a point during the tournament, but offense has never been his calling card. Even with that being the case, his NHL play has been pretty good lately -- he has four goals and 11 points over 20 outings since the start of January. For the season, he's at 21 points, 75 shots on net, 98 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 57 appearances. Fantasy managers don't need to buy the hype from talking heads; Slavin is an excellent on-ice player, but he's not a one-size-fits-all option in the virtual game. Roster him for blocks, and consider him if you're in a deeper format, but remember that a 30-point pace is typically the expectation.
Slavin provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
Slavin had nine points over 15 outings in January and kept the offense rolling to begin February. The 30-year-old defenseman helped out on an Eric Robinson tally in the third period. Slavin is up to 20 points, 65 shots on net, 92 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 53 appearances. With his current performance, he can help fantasy managers who need a modest boost in points or blocks.

Rotowire
Slavin scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
After helping to set up Brent Burns for a first-period tally, Slavin gave the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead on a wild play that saw Jesperi Kotkaniemi crash into Sergei Bobrovsky and then get pinned to the ice in the crease by Matthew Tkachuk, only for a shot to carom off Kotkaniemi's skate and bounce straight to Slavin for the rebound. It was Slavin's first multi-point performance since Nov. 11, and it equaled his production for the entire month of December, when the veteran blueliner managed only two assists in 13 contests.

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.

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.

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.
