Jaccob Slavin News: Slides first assist this season

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

Slavin notched his first assist of the season on William Carrier's game-winning goal in the third period. Slavin 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, though he had just 27 points in 80 regular-season games last season.
