Jaccob Slavin - NHL News & Rumors

Slides first assist this season Slavin tallied an assist and had two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over Seattle.

Impact Slavin made his first assist of the season a crucial one, as he supplied the primary helper on William Carrier's game-winning goal in the third period. With the apple, Slavins has one point, two shots on net, two hits and eight blocks through six appearances this season. While the beginning of his season has been derailed by a pair of injuries, he has a strong outlook in the second half of the season as he's set to play his usual role of top-pair minutes for one of the league's strongest defensive units. If he can stay healthy, Slavin should be a strong source of category coverage, giving him viable fantasy value across most league formats.

Good to go Slavin (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Seattle on Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact After missing the last 10 games, Slavin will return to his top-pairing role and should see time on the penalty kill. He hasn't produced a point in only five appearances this season while providing four shots on goal and eight blocked shots.

Won't play Thursday Slavin (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus the Ducks on Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact Slavin has played in just five games this season in which he failed to register a point. At this point, the Denver native appears to be close to getting back into the lineup but will have to wait until at least Saturday's matchup with Seattle. Once Slavin is given the green light, he likely will replace Alexander Nikishin or Joel Nystrom on the blue line.

Awaiting medical clearance Slavin (upper body) is still waiting on medical clearance ahead of Thursday's clash with the Ducks, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Head coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't offer any clarity regarding Slavin's availability versus Anaheim, a situation that is further complicated by the team's decision not to hold a morning skate Thursday. Still, in order for the veteran defenseman to suit up, he will need to be activated off injured reserve. Once that happens, fantasy managers can expect Slavin back in the lineup.

Considered week-to-week The Hurricanes announced Monday that Slavin is considered week-to-week due to an upper-body injury.

Impact Slavin recently returned from a two-month absence due to a lower-body issue, but he's dealing with a separate injury ahead of the holiday break that will force him to miss more time. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but it seems possible that the Hurricanes will elect to place him on injured reserve, especially if he's slated to be sidelined after the holiday break.

Practices in non-contact jersey Slavin (lower body) participated in Tuesday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact This was Slavin's first time back on the ice since he suffered an injury Oct. 11. The 31-year-old status wasn't updated by the team, but this attendance at practice suggests he is starting to ramp up. Considering the length of his absence, he will likely need a handful of practices before being ready to play again, so his return is not yet imminent.

Placed on injured reserve Slavin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Hurricanes on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Slavin sustained a lower-body injury during Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers, and head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that the defenseman would be "out for a while." As a result, it isn't particularly surprising to see Slavin land on injured reserve, officially sidelining him for multiple games. Mike Reilly will likely continue to see playing time in Slavin's absence.

He hasn't earned a point in two appearances this season while posting two shots on goal and three blocked shots.
