Playing career

Slavin played college hockey for Colorado College in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference and was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the seventh round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. He signed a two year entry-level contract with the Blackhawks on March 16, 2021. He was assigned immediately to Chicago's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rockford Ice Hogs. [1] The following season, Slavin was recalled from Rockford in November to join the Blackhawks. [2] [3] He made his NHL debut on December 2, 2021 in a 4–3 overtime win over the Washington Capitals, in which he recorded his first NHL point, an assist on a goal by Seth Jones. [4] During the final year of his entry-level contract in the 2022–23 season, Slavin contributed with just 3 goals in 51 regular season with the IceHogs before he was traded by the Blackhawks to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Hunter Drew on February 23, 2022. [5] He finished the season with Anaheim's AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, where he recorded four goals and seven points in 16 games. [6]

As an unrestricted free agent from the Ducks after he was not tendered a qualifying offer, Slavin was signed to a one-year AHL contract with the Toronto Marlies on July 9, 2023. [7] [8]
