Aho earned an assist and a plus-4 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Aho tied a career high in assists (53) with the latest apple, and the playoff-bound Hurricanes, winners of four straight contests, are looking very sharp with a pair of games remaining in the regular season. This has been Aho's best NHL campaign, as the prolific eighth-year forward is sporting 88 points -- including 32 power-play points and a whopping 10 game-winning goals -- through 77 contests. The Finn will be a popular target in playoff pools since he's playing so well, plus this will mark Aho's sixth straight postseason showing as the Hurricanes have been quite competitive over that span. He has 23 goals and 35 assists through 63 postseason games.

Aho had a goal and two assists in a 4-0 win over Detroit on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Aho's 32nd of the season and came on a redirection at the left post early in the second period. The goal was his 250th in the NHL, and his 83 points overall tie his career mark set in 2018-19. Aho is one of the more consistent stars in the NHL, potting 29 or more goals in six of his last seven seasons. His commitment to two-way team play has kept him from exploding offensively, which likely the only reason he's a top-13 scorer instead of a someone consistently flirting with the top-five. Still, Aho is an excellent fantasy producer, and a leader on the ice.

Aho reached 30 goals on the season with the eruption while extending his personal point streak to five games, a stretch in which he's collected five goals and 11 points.

Aho scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the second period as the Hurricanes surged out to a 3-0 lead, but the third frame belonged to the Jets. It's only Aho's second multi-point performance in the last 15 games, but he's stayed productive with eight goals and 11 points over that stretch. Saturday's goal was the 24th of the season for the 26-year-old winger, a mark he's reached in each of his eight NHL campaigns.

Aho scored his 21st goal of the season in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old didn't wait for overtime to deliver his seventh game-winning goal of 2023-24, but he maintained his flair for the dramatic -- Aho jumped on a loose puck in the slot, spun around and went top shelf past Sergei Bobrovsky with only 19 seconds left in the third period. Aho is up to 21 goals and 60 points through 53 games this season, and Thursday's tally was the 52nd GWG of his career, putting him only five back of Hall of Famer Ron Francis for the all-time franchise lead. Francis needed 1,186 career games in a Whalers or Hurricanes sweater to accumulate his 57 winners, while Aho's racked up his in less than half that time (573 games).
