Aho scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-0 win over the Lightning on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

He set up Teuvo Teravainen on the power play at 3:10 of the first, and then scored his fourth of the season from the left circle off a feed from Andrei Svechnikov just 1:22 later. The points stretched Aho's scoring streak to five games and seven points (three goals, four assists). Aho has 13 points in 12 games, and he is tied for the team lead in scoring. But he's shooting at just 10.5 percent effectiveness, which is a step down from his career mark of 14.9. Expect this to correct itself and more goals to come.

Aho picked up two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

After recording a helper on Brady Skjei's third-period tally, Aho found Martin Necas wide open in front of the Buffalo net for a tip-in goal 90 seconds into OT. Aho has found the scoresheet in five of the last six games, and on the season he's racked up two goals and 10 points through 10 contests as he looks to return to the point-a-game pace he fell short of in 2022-23.

Aho registered two assists in Friday's 3-0 victory against the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

One of Aho's helpers came on the power play. The Finnish pivot ended up with a plus-2 rating and four shots on goal while winning three of his five faceoffs in 16:09 of ice time across 18 shifts. Aho has three helpers in the past two games since returning from an upper-body injury, producing at his usual steady pace.

Aho (upper body) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Lightning, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Aho will return from a three-game absence with the injury. The 26-year-old is expected to play left wing on the top line, skating with Teuvo Teravainen and Martin Necas. Defenseman Dylan Coghlan will be the healthy scratch for the Hurricanes.

Aho (upper body) isn't available for Saturday's game versus Colorado, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Aho will miss his third straight contest due to his upper-body injury. He was off to a great start before getting hurt, providing a goal and three points through three appearances this season. Aho's next chance to play will come Tuesday versus Tampa Bay.

Aho (upper body) is considered doubtful to play versus Colorado on Saturday, according to Ryan Boulding of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Aho has already missed Carolina's previous two games. He has a goal and three points in three contests this season. If Aho is ruled out, Callahan Burke could be in the lineup against his former team.

Aho (upper body) isn't available for Thursday's contest against Seattle, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Aho will miss his second straight game. He was off to a great start before suffering an upper-body injury, scoring a goal and three points in three outings. His next chance to return will be Saturday versus Colorado.

Aho (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Aho saw 21:39 of ice time in Sunday's game versus the Ducks, so it's unclear when he was injured. The 26-year-old's absence means the Hurricanes will either have to dress seven defensemen or play a man short in this contest. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game in Seattle.

Aho scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Aho's points came shorthanded. His goal was his 17th career shorthanded tally, setting a franchise record. All three of his points through two games this season have come in special-teams situations. He's also produced five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating while continuing to lead the way in all situations for the Hurricanes.

Aho signed an eight-year, $78 million contract extension with Carolina on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Aho has one season left on his existing five-year, $42.295 million deal, so he's now locked up through the 2031-32 campaign. The 26-year-old forward had 36 goals and 67 points in 75 outings last season. That campaign marked the fourth time in five years in which Aho had recorded at least 30 goals. He should continue to be one of Carolina's top offensive weapons through the life of this new contract.
