Impact Slavin's first goal of the year couldn't come at a better time -- he scored 1:13 into overtime to seal the win that clinched the Metropolitan Division for the Hurricanes. He has three points over his last five games, though he's been limited to seven points, 62 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 38 appearances this season due to injuries that cost him most of the first half. Slavin has been logging his usual top-four minutes since late January and will be a defensive pillar heading into the playoffs.

Helps out on late tally Slavin recorded an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Slavin helped tie the game when he tallied the secondary helper on Shayne Gostisbehere's goal with less than 90 seconds remaining in the contest. Overall, the 31-year-old Slavin is up to three assists, 10 shots on goal and 21 blocked shots across 13 games this season. When healthy, Slavin has been a strong source of blocks per game and already has four games of three-plus blocks this season. All three of his assists on the year have been in his last eight games, which could be an indicator that he's starting to find his groove in Carolina's offense. Barring injury, the shutdown blueliner is a solid fantasy option moving forward.

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.

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.
