Sebastian Aho

Aho scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Rangers. Aho scored Carolina's first goal to tie the game with under three minutes left to play, burying his own rebound to force overtime in the series-opener. The goal snaps a five-game drought for the 24-year-old winger, who now has two goals and three assists in the playoffs. Aho recorded 37 goals and 44 assists in the regular season.

Aho will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. Aho didn't play much behind veteran defensemen Zdeno Chara and Andy Greene. This lack of playing time means Aho did not play the required number of games to become a restricted free agent and will now be able to sign with any NHL team.

Sebastian Aho will look to leave his mark on Game 7. The Boston Bruins take on the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday in Game 7, where one team’s season will come to an end. Aho has struggled on the road in the series, recording zero of his five points in Boston. Thankfully for the Hurricanes, they will have home ice in the series-clinching game.

Aho dished out two assists in Tuesday's 5-1 Game 5 win over the Bruins. Aho helped Jaccob Slavin open the scoring and later set up Seth Jarvis' second-period goal, which stretched the lead to 3-0. This is the fourth consecutive trip to the postseason for Aho's Hurricanes, and he has been quite productive in the playoffs with 40 points in 39 games.

Aho scored two goals -- one on the power play -- in Wednesday's 5-2 Game 2 win over Boston. After dishing a helper in the Game 1 win, Aho made more of an impact in the second game. He gave Carolina a 2-0 lead late in the first and stretched that advantage to 3-0 with a power-play marker early in the second. The latter tally wound up being the third playoff game-winning goal of Aho's career.

Aho is dealing with an upper-body injury and will not play Friday against visiting Tampa, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Aho sustained a hard hit against Washington on Thursday, which will force him to miss the season finale Friday. Aho will finish the season having recorded a decent 12 points in limited action (36 games) this season, as he was often made a healthy scratch for extended periods.

Aho can be an unrestricted free agent after the season, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Aho will be a Group 6 unrestricted free agent next season. This is not a group we talk about very often, as it only applies to players over the age of 25 who have not played 75 or more NHL games. Aho will have at most played 62 at the end of this season. The future for Aho would seem to be with another organization as the Islanders could have assured themselves of his rights by just playing him 13 more games, and that shouldn't have been that difficult, but coach Barry Trotz chose to play Andy Greene ahead of Aho. The Islanders are searching for a puck-moving defenseman, which is a skill Aho possesses, but it seems Trotz would prefer someone more reliable on the back end.

As of their 5-3 win against the Buffalo Sabres on April 7, the Carolina Hurricanes are heading to their fourth-straight playoffs. Center Sebastian Aho has been a contributor to the Canes for all four of these consecutive playoff-resulting seasons but has fallen short of Cory Stillman‘s record-holding 1.040 post-season points per game. This could be the year that changes.

Aho notched his 35th goal of the season in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche. Now with 76 points in 73 games, Aho's point-per-game pace remains intact. Furthermore, with six games remaining, he still has a chancee match his career-high of 83 points from back in 2018-19. Keep him rolling.

Aho delivered a goal and two assists Tuesday in a 4-2 win over the Rangers. The goal was an empty netter. Tuesday's outburst was Aho's first three-point game since Jan. 21 -- that was 37 games ago. But the 24-year-old still has 34 goals and 41 assists (75 points) in 71 games, which puts him just outside the league's top-20 scorers. Aho's best offensive season came in 2018-19 with 83 points and there's still a chance for him to best that total, depending on the next couple weeks.

The Carolina Hurricanes were happy to talk about playoff hockey after their latest accomplishment. Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal each scored two goals and the Hurricanes rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits to beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-3 and clinch a playoff berth Thursday night. "That’s what we need...

As the New York Islanders visit the Carolina Hurricanes, we have the outside opportunity, but not the foregone expectation, for another Sebastian Aho Squared event. The prolific Hurricanes forward version scored twice in Carolina’s comeback win over the Sabres in Buffalo last night. The slightly less productive Islanders defenseman version is still with the squad but has not seen a game since logging 9:23 in the April 1 win over the Rangers, as Grant Hutton has been getting a trial.

Aho scored two goals in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Sabres. After Buffalo took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, Aho got the Hurricanes going with his goal just under five minutes into the second period. His second tally was even more important, as it broke a 3-3 tie with 8:21 left in the third and stood as the game-winner. With 33 goals, Aho needs five more over Carolina's last 11 games to match his career high.

The National Hockey League has two players named Sebastian Aho, one on the New York Islanders and one on the Carolina Hurricanes. Odd enough as that is, it gets even more wild. Both Ahos scored goals on the Thursday night, at almost the same time, in different games. Yup, you...
