Aho notched his 12th goal of the season Saturday in a 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Like many rookies, Aho's game shows remarkable upside, but short-term inconsistency. He has 25 points overall, but he hasn't recorded an assist since Dec. 30, a span of 11 games. Aho remains a great keeper, but his single-year value is restricted because of that inconsistency.

Aho started a new points streak, tallying a pair of goals, including the game-winner, in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Bruins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 19-year-old snapped his modest four-game point streak Thursday and didn't score again Friday, but these two goals gives him seven scores in the last month. Aho also has six points in the last seven contests. With his minutes also trending upwards, Aho is a solid short-term addition with tremendous long-term upside.

Aho scored the Hurricanes' only goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
He's now found the scoresheet in four straight games, and Aho's fired 18 shots on goal in that span. The 19-year-old rookie is seeing his ice time trend up significantly -- he's cleared 17 minutes in five straight games, his longest such stretch of the year. Check your wire, especially in keeper formats; Aho offers an enticing combination of present production (21 points in 37 games) and long-term upside.

Aho scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The point extended his current scoring streak to a modest three games (one goal, two assists). Aho is picking up the offensive pace, but remains a borderline play in standard formats. His keeper value, though, is elite.

Aho recorded an assist and registered a team-high seven shots on net during Wednesday's loss to Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie has picked up his production of late with three goals, seven points and 20 shots through his past nine games. However, he's likely still too inconsistent to rely on in the majority of seasonal leagues. Aho is worth watching in deep settings, though, and he's certainly a nice asset in keeper/dynasty settings.

Aho picked up two assists -- one on the power play -- during Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Aho now has two multi-point outings in December, pushing his total up to a respectable two goals and three helpers through eight games. While he isn't consistent in his rookie campaign (expectedly), the 19-year-old has 16 points and provides a nice spark for the improving Hurricanes.

Aho scored a goal and added an assist with three shots on net during Wednesday's shootout loss to Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Unsurprisingly, there hasn't been a lot of game-to-game consistency from Aho during his freshman campaign. He has a respectable four goals, 13 points and 64 shots over 26 outings, which makes him a potential option in deep seasonal leagues. However, in most settings, you'll likely want to aim higher. The future remains bright for the 19-year-old winger.

Aho registered an assist and three shots on net over 17:06 of ice time during Friday's win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Aho now has two goals, three helpers and 11 shots on net over his past four games. The rookie isn't currently receiving much power-play time, but he's making the most of his top-six role and still owns nice offensive upside in deep settings. Expect there to be plenty more peaks and valleys throughout his rookie campaign, though.

Aho scored his first two career NHL goals in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Capitals. He also added an assist in the victory.
EDGE Analysis
Aho now has four points in his last two games and nine (two goals, seven assists) in 14 games. He'll suffer through some scoring droughts, just has he did earlier this season. But Aho is a talented kid. He's already on pace for more than 50 points this year.

Aho failed to crack the scoresheet Sunday against the Devils, extending his current pointless drought to six games.
EDGE Analysis
Aho has cooled off considerably after posting five assists in his first five games. That said, he continues to see a decent amount of ice time, averaging 15:25 per game with roughly three minutes coming on the power play, so as long as that continues, the points should follow. Bottom line, fantasy owners should be patient with the Canes' prized rookie as he adjusts to the rigors of his first NHL season.
