Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Two points in Friday's loss

Slavin produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Both points came in the first period as the Hurricanes grabbed an early 2-1 lead in a roller-coaster contest. Slavin has broken out of the slump he was following the All-Star break -- after managing just three assists in 15 games, he's struck for a goal and seven points over the past eight contests. The surge has given the 29-year-old blueliner 30 points on the season, the sixth time in his nine-year career he's reached that mark.
