Aho scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Aho has four goals and two assists over his last five outings. The center's tally was the second of three in a span of 3:32 in the first period for the Hurricanes. Aho is up to 21 goals, 57 points, 154 shots on net, 40 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 58 outings this season. It hasn't been his strongest year, and it'll require a late surge for him to achieve a fourth straight 30-goal campaign.

Aho scored two goals, including the game-winner while shorthanded, and added an assist in Saturday's 7-3 victory over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
He scored twice as part of a four-goal second period for Carolina to blow the game open. Aho will represent Team Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off, and the 27-year-old heads into the tournament with significant momentum, having racked up seven goals and 11 points over the last nine games. Saturday's performance also gave Aho 20 goals on the season -- a mark reached in all nine of his NHL campaigns.

Aho scored a goal and added three shots on net in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Aho's tally arrived with less than three minutes in regulation to help the Hurricanes avoid a shutout. Thursday's game raised the Finnish forward's season totals to 18 goals, 52 points, and 143 shots on net across 54 appearances this season. Aho's tally in the third period was his first point since missing Carolina's contest Jan. 30 with an illness. Centering the top line alongside Mikko Rantanen and Seth Jarvis, the 27-year-old is in a good place to continue producing points once the new line combination develops more chemistry. Aho is off the pace to best his career-high of 89 points from a year ago but should challenge for 70-80 points this season.

EDGE Analysis
Aho missed Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago due to the illness. He has 17 goals and 51 points in 51 appearances in 2024-25. Aho is projected to serve on the top line alongside Mikko Rantanen and Jackson Blake.

Aho (illness) will be a game-time decision versus LA on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Aho participated in Saturday's morning skate, and his availability will be determined during the pregame warmups. Before missing Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago, the 27-year-old center had three goals and two assists during a three-game point streak. Aho has 17 goals and 51 points in 51 appearances this season.

Aho (illness) is expected to miss Thursday's tilt against Chicago, per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Aho has found the back of the net in each of his past three outings and four of his last five, so the timing of his absence is particularly unfortunate. He has 17 goals and 51 points in 51 appearances this season. Ryan Suzuki will make his NHL debut.

Aho is questionable for Thursday's matchup with Chicago after missing the game-day skate due to an illness, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aho's potential absence would likely require a call-up from AHL Chicago unless Jack Roslovic (illness) is healthy enough to suit up. The 27-year-old Aho is currently riding a three-game goal streak during which he has generated three goals, two helpers and 10 shots. If the center does miss out, Jesperi Kotkaniemi could be elevated to a first-line role.

Aho scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Aho has scored in three straight games and has four goals and three helpers over his last five outings. The Hurricanes' new-look top six may still need some time to mesh, but Aho and Mikko Rantanen should form a reliable duo on the top line. Aho is at 17 goals, 51 points, 137 shots on net, 42 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 51 appearances this season.

Aho scored a goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Aho gave the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead in the first period. The center has three goals and three assists over his last four contests. While new teammate and fellow Finn Mikko Rantanen didn't get involved in the offense Saturday, Aho's fantasy managers should be happy to see him skating alongside a top-10 scorer in the league for the rest of the season. Aho already has a strong 50 points in 50 games (16 goals, 34 assists), and he's added 135 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-4 rating. The goal-scoring has been lacking a bit for Aho this year, but Rantanen can provide just as well as he finishes, so that bodes well for Aho getting a few more pucks to go in.
