Jaccob Slavin Working On Long-Term Extension With Hurricanes
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin is poised to sign an extension with the team this offseason. Per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Hurricanes are working on a long-term deal with Slavin. He will be wrapping up a seven-year, $37.1 million contract in 2024-25. Slavin, who turned 30 on May 1, should secure himself another good deal after becoming a key cog for the Hurricanes. He led the blue line with a plus-21 rating this season and had a team-high 120 hits while recording 37 points (six goals, 31 assists) in 81 appearances.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin (lower body) will return to the lineup against the Rangers on Saturday night. The 28-year-old missed six consecutive games with a lower-body injury that he sustained against the Wild on Jan. 19. Slavin has produced three goals and 12 assists on the season and carries limited offensive upside compared to teammates Brent Burns and Brady Skjei on the defensive end.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin (lower body) remains out for Tuesday's matchup versus the Kings. The 28-year-old has been skating in practice but isn't quite ready for any action and will sit out a fifth consecutive game. Jalen Chatfield is set to continue in a bigger role Tuesday. Chatfield has tallied two points in the four games Slavin has missed, although his fantasy appeal is very limited because he's not used on the power play. Brady Skjei sits on the first unit and Brent Burns is quarterbacking the second unit.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game Sunday versus Boston. Following Saturday's practice, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour noted that Slavin "skated well", but it looks like he still needs to put in some more work before he is game-ready again. Slavin has notched 15 points in 45 games this season with 74 shots on goal, 27 hits and 72 blocks. He's been a major piece of the defensive corps, averaging 22:26 of ice time, but the team has to do without him for a bit longer. Dylan Coghlan has come into the team in Slavin's absence, while Jalen Chatfield has moved up in the lineup to partner Brent Burns on the first defensive pairing.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin helped to set up two goals Sunday when the team suffered a painful 4-3 shootout loss against Vancouver. The Hurricanes were 3-2 up heading into the final couple of minutes when Slavin had helped Jordan Martinook and Sebastian Aho to score, but the Canucks tied the game with just 17 seconds left in regulation and the team had to settle for just one point. Slavin doesn't generally contribute regularly on offense, but he has now recorded two multi-point efforts in three games. He has managed three goals and 12 assists in total across 44 outings with 74 shots, 26 hits and 69 blocks.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin has been placed in the COVID-19 protocols on Tuesday. The 27-year-old ranks second among Hurricanes defensemen with 18 points through 33 games, behind only Tony DeAngelo's 24 points. Slavin provides additional fantasy value for fantasy managers in plus-minus leagues, as he has been among the league leaders in that category over the past three seasons. With Slavin out of the lineup, defensemen Brett Pesce and Brady Skjei will have a chance to move up in the lineup and receive some time on the power-play unit.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin will not dress due to a lower-body injury as his team takes on the Nashville Predators on Monday. The 27-year-old was forced to depart Saturday's contest after just 7:13 of ice time for what the team deemed as precautionary. With the division already clinched and Slavin listed as day-to-day, it makes sense for the Hurricanes to hold him out of the final regular season game. The Colorado native has posted 15 points (three goals, 12 assists), a plus-22 rating and 101 shots while averaging 22:59 of ice time in 52 games in 2020-2021.
