Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Ends dry spell Sunday
Rotowire
Slavin posted a shorthanded assist in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.
Slavin's helper came on a Seth Jarvis tally late in the second period. This ended an 11-game drought for Slavin, who collected 16 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over that span. The 30-year-old continues to fill a primarily defensive role for the Hurricanes as their top shutdown blueliner, but he's usually good for a little more offense.

Slavin scored a goal and recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

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.
