Slavin (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 1 vs. the Predators.

Slavin missed the Hurricanes season finale with a lower-body injury he suffered in their second last game. Slavin was on the ice for Sunday's practice and Monday's morning skate, so there's a good chance he's available for Game 1. However, head coach Rod Brind'Amour would not commit to it.

Slavin was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday.

The Hurricanes played in Nashville on Monday and had just one player n the COVID-19 protocol list and that was Jordan Staal. On Tuesday, their game with the Predators was cancelled due to four more players being added to that list, Slavin among them. The four players with confirmed positive tests must stay behind in Nashville and observe a 10-day isolation period in the team hotel.
