With 7 assists in his first 14 games with the Checkers, Slavin was recalled by the Hurricanes and made his NHL debut on November 20, 2015.[6] Slavin scored his first NHL hat-trick on March 13, 2017, away against the New York Islanders.[7]

On August 1, 2020, Slavin scored his first career playoff goal against the New York Rangers. He became the first player to score a goal in an NHL game in the month of August.
