Aho scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Aho snapped a four-game goal drought with the second-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. He's picked up a goal and four assists in five outings versus Vegas in this series, so he's still done his part on offense as a facilitator.
