Slavin produced an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

Slavin set up Jesperi Kotkaniemi's goal, which was the Hurricanes' lone tally. The 27-year-old Slavin cooled off in November with just four assists in 13 games. The American blueliner is up to 10 helpers, 43 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 21 contests overall. He'll continue to see significant usage as the Hurricanes' defense corps is down three regulars due to COVID-19 protocols.
