Aho (lower body) is unlikely to play against the Devils on Tuesday after coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters, "I'd like to see him in a real practice before we throw him out there," Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aho is set to miss his sixth straight contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old Finn was rolling offensively with 10 points in his last 10 contests, including four goals on 35 shots. In Aho's stead, Paul Stastny figures to continue filling a first-line role. Once cleared to play, Aho should immediately retake his place in the lineup and offer top-end fantasy value.

Aho (lower body), who is expected to miss a fifth straight game Sunday versus Pittsburgh, needs more practice time before he can return to the lineup, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes will play for the fourth time in six days Sunday. Coach Rod Brind'Amour thinks that Aho could have returned sooner if there was more time between contests. It's unclear at this time if the 25-year-old forward will be ready for Tuesday's matchup with New Jersey. Aho has racked up 11 goals and 27 points in 26 games this season.

Aho (lower body) will not play this weekend, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aho will sit out Friday versus Dallas and Saturday against Pittsburgh according to coach Rod Brind'Amour. Aho has already sat out three straight games as this injury has been far more serious than first thought. Aho has 11 goals and 27 points in 26 games this season.

Aho (lower body) is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Seattle, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unless he makes a dramatic turnaround, Aho will miss a third straight contest due to his lower-body injury Thursday. Paul Stastny will likely continue to center the first line until Aho, who's racked up 11 goals and 27 points through 26 games this season, is cleared to return.

Aho (lower body) won't be available to play Tuesday against Detroit, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aho, who didn't play Saturday versus the Islanders, didn't take part in Monday's practice. He has racked up 11 goals, 27 points, 77 shots on net and 29 hits in 26 games this season. Aho's spot on the top line was occupied by Paul Stastny, who scored the game-winning goal Saturday.

Aho (lower body) is not at practice Friday and will miss Saturday's tilt versus the Islanders, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Rod Brind'Amour stated Thursday that if Aho was unable to practice Friday, he would not play Saturday. Paul Stastny is in his spot on the top line, between Seth Jarvis and Martin Necas. Aho has 11 goals and 27 points in 26 games this season.

Aho (lower body) missed practice Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Rod Brind'Amour said that if Aho misses practice again Friday, he will not play Saturday against the Islanders. Aho has 11 goals and 27 points in 26 games this season, as the 25-year-old has averaged more than a point a game over the last five seasons.

Aho scored a goal on six shots, levied four hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Aho tied the game at 2-2 with his second-period marker. The center has scored in each of his last two games since snapping a six-game goal drought. For the season, he's at 11 tallies, 27 points, 77 shots on net, 29 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating in 26 contests.

Aho scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Aho tallied at 14:11 of the second period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. The 25-year-old has gone six games without a goal, though he picked up six assists in that span. For the season, the Finn has 10 tallies, 26 points, 71 shots, 18 PIM, 25 hits and a plus-1 rating in 25 contests.

Aho registered a pair of assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Aho played a role in both of Carolina's second-period goals, which proved to be critical as the Hurricanes climbed out of an early deficit to force overtime and sneak away with a win. Ranking among the league's elite class of wingers, Aho remains a low maintenance fantasy option as the owner of nine goals and 16 assists through 23 contests. However, he only has six power-play points after banking a career-high 28 of those last season.
