Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin is scheduled to play his 800th NHL game on Sunday afternoon against the Winnipeg Jets. The milestone makes Slavin the fifth player in franchise history to reach 800 games, joining Ron Francis, Glen Wesley, Eric Staal, and Jordan Staal as Carolina aims to finish a season sweep against Winnipeg.

In contrast, the Jets have dropped eight straight contests, though they recently ended their standoff with goaltender Connor Hellebuyck by trading him to the New Jersey Devils.
