Aho collected an assist in his first career NHL game, a 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to the power-play assist 5:02 into the third period, the 19-year-old Finn picked up his first NHL PIM (a two-minute minor for tripping). What really jumps off the page of the box score, however, was the rookie's whopping 4:24 of power-play time, which was second on the team only to Jordan Staal's 4:26. Given the fact he put up 45 points in 45 games last year professionally in Finland as an 18-year-old, Aho could have tremendous fantasy potential if he continues to receive this type of time with the man advantage. Keep an eye on him.
