Aho delivered two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Aho has just one goal through four outings this season despite attempting 10 shots, and while that's a disappointing outcome for the star forward, he's making up for that lack of goals in the assists department, where he has three over his last two appearances. Aho has scored at least 35 goals in each of the last three seasons, however, so he should bounce back sooner rather than later, especially since he holds a top-line role for the Hurricanes both at even strength and on the power play. He'll aim to extend his three-game point streak Tuesday against the Oilers.

Aho scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Aho has a goal, five shots on net, two hits and two blocked shots over two appearances. The center was held off the scoresheet in the season opener versus the Lightning, but it's rare for Aho to go through extended droughts. The 27-year-old has exceeded 80 points in two of the last three years and has a decent chance of reaching that mark again as the Hurricanes' top forward in 2024-25.

Aho scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Aho had the primary assist on Seth Jarvis' power-play marker early in the second period. Aho also had an even-strength tally in the middle frame, which was the final goal Carolina scored in the contest. In addition to recording two points, the Finnish center had two shots on net, one block and a minus-2 rating in 18:48 of ice time. After a career high in the regular season with 89 points, the 26-year-old forward finished the postseason with four goals, eight assists and a plus-1 rating in 11 outings.

He's up to three goals, seven helpers, 26 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-4 rating through nine playoff outings.

Aho recorded an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He helped on Andrei Svechnikov's game-tying marker late in the third period, but Aho's efforts ultimately failed to prevent Carolina from falling behind 3-0 in the second-round series. Although the Hurricanes have come up short against the Rangers, Aho has excelled with six assists through three contests in the series. That gives him two goals and nine points across eight playoff outings this year after setting a career high of 89 points (36 goals) in 78 regular-season games.

Aho registered a trio of assists in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Aho had a hand in all three of his team's goals to go along with seven shots on net, a plus-2 rating, three hits and 30:18 of ice time. That gives Aho five assists in two games this series, yet the Hurricanes head back to Carolina down two games to none against New York. Carolina will need Aho to be at his best once again come Thursday if they have any chance of avoiding a three-game deficit. Overall this postseason, the Finnish center has two goals and six assists in seven games to go along with a plus-3 rating.
