The Canes' defenseman didn't play on Tuesday as part of his recovery, with back-to-back avoidance being integral in getting him back to full strength.
It has been a trying campaign for Jaccob Slavin, through no fault of his own. Injuries have played a big part in the Carolina Hurricanes' season, and their star defenseman is front and center in that regard. Slavin has only dressed for seven of the team's 47 contests to this point, with Tuesday night's scratch coming as little surprise.
