The Hurricanes played in Nashville on Monday and had just one player n the COVID-19 protocol list and that was Jordan Staal.

The four players with confirmed positive tests must stay behind in Nashville and observe a 10-day isolation period in the team hotel.
Slavin was only sent down for one game and the Hurricanes must like what Slavin brought to the team versus what Ryan Murphy did on Thursday. Savin had one assist in six games with the Hurricanes before he was sent down.
