Aho scored two power-play goals, one the game-winner, and added an even-strength assist Tuesday in the Hurricanes' 5-4 double-overtime victory over the Devils in Game 5 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old tied the score at 4-4 with his first tally midway through the second period, then ended the night, and the series, with a one-timer from the faceoff circle past Jacob Markstrom early in the second OT. Aho has reeled off three straight multi-point performances, and he'll head into the second round with three goals and eight points through five games this postseason.

Aho banked a pair of assists, including one with the man advantage, levied three hits and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-2 win over New Jersey in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

After starting this series with just one helper across the first two games, Aho has produced back-to-back multi-point efforts. The Finnish center logged the secondary helper on two of Andrei Svechnikov's three goals in Sunday's road victory. Aho and Svechnikov, who were reunited on the top line in this contest, are tied for the team lead in playoff scoring with five points over four outings. Based on that duo's output in Game 4, Seth Jarvis may be relegated to a second-line role for now, unless he's able to overtake Jackson Blake's first-line assignment. Aho and his club can advance to the second round if they secure a win in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Aho scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added four hits in Friday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Devils in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Aho had been limited to one assist over two games to begin the first-round playoff series before a bigger performance in Game 3. The center has added seven shots on net, nine hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three postseason contests. Aho is in his usual spots on the first line and top power-play unit, so he should continue to be a driving force on offense for the Hurricanes.

Aho (rest) will be available for Game 1 against New Jersey on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aho skated on the top line and first power-play unit during Saturday's practice after missing the final two regular-season games for maintenance. He notched 29 goals and 74 points in 79 games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Aho (rest) is slated to miss Thursday's game against Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Aho is taking a second straight game off ahead of the playoffs. He's set to finish the regular season with 29 goals and 74 points in 79 appearances. Aho should be back in the lineup for Game 1 of the Hurricanes' first-round series against New Jersey on Sunday.

Aho didn't take part in Wednesday's morning skate and is expected to rest during the Hurricanes' matchup against the Canadiens, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, so Aho will be one of several players resting in the penultimate game of the regular season. Aho is in the midst of a three-game point streak in which he's recorded a goal, three assists, four hits and three blocked shots, and it's unclear whether he'll suit up in Thursday's regular-season finale against Ottawa. Regardless of whether he plays against the Senators, Aho should be available for the start of postseason play.

Aho scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Aho netted the Hurricanes' lone goal of the game with a slap shot at the 7:58 mark of the third period. Even though the Hurricanes didn't have their best performance Sunday, at least Aho managed to score his 29th goal of the season. He'll have two more opportunities to reach the 30-goal plateau for a fourth consecutive campaign -- against Montreal on Wednesday and versus Ottawa on Thursday.

Aho notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Aho has warmed up a bit with three helpers over his last two games after enduring a three-game slump. The 27-year-old center has not produced a point streak longer than three contests since mid-December. He's still had a strong year with 28 goals, 45 assists, 203 shots on net, 55 hits and a plus-7 rating over 78 appearances. It's possible he's struggled with multiple changes to the composition of the top line, going from Martin Necas to Mikko Rantanen to Jackson Blake as the Hurricanes shook up the league with two blockbuster trades.

Aho scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two assists in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

One of those assists came while the Hurricanes were shorthanded. Aho concluded a productive March with seven goals and five assists over 14 appearances for the month. Overall, he's up to 28 goals, 41 helpers, 21 power-play points, seven shorthanded points, 189 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 72 contests this season. He continues to be the Hurricanes' most important forward.

Aho tallied a goal and fired four shots on net in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Aho put the puck top shelf past Sam Montembeault in transition to tally Carolina's second of two goals in a two-and-a-half minute span. The 27-year-old Aho is up to 27 goals, 66 points and 185 shots on net in 71 appearances this season. Friday's tally ended a three-game scoreless skid for Aho, who has 15 points in his last 18 outings. Carolina's top-line center is just four points away from reaching the 70-point mark for the fourth time in nine seasons. Despite his recent scoreless streak, Aho is a must-start in all fantasy formats.
