Rotowire
Aho scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

The 28-year-old is at four goals, six assists, 19 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating. There aren't many forwards more consistent than Aho, and his early chemistry with Nikolaj Ehlers and Seth Jarvis has been a bright spot for the injury-riddled Hurricanes.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Nets goal Monday
Rotowire
Aho scored a goal, took three shots and recorded two hits in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Aho has been sensational for the Hurricanes so far this season. This might have been only his second goal, with both coming in the team's last three games, but he's on a six-game point streak. The 28-year-old playmaker has eight points during that streak, and he should continue to be a driving force on offense for Carolina as long as he stays healthy. He also has 15 shots, 10 hits and three blocked shots in that six-game stretch.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: One of each Thursday
Rotowire
Aho scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Aho's points came in the third period, as he set up an Alexander Nikishin goal early in the frame before scoring one of his own with 4:12 left in the contest. The goal was Aho's first of the season to go with five assists, nine shots on net, four hits and a plus-2 rating through four games. The top-line center is among the most consistent players in the league and should hover around a point-per-game pace or better in 2025-26.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Bags two apples in season opener
Rotowire
Aho generated two primary assists, including one on the power play, in 21:39 of ice time during Thursday's 6-3 win over New Jersey.
Both of Aho's helpers came in the final frame, as he set up goals by K'Andre Miller and Seth Jarvis, the latter of which ended up being the game-winner. The 28-year-old Aho could be in line for his best season yet, as he's being flanked by free-agent addition Nikolaj Ehlers, along with Seth Jarvis, on the top line. Aho also managed 4:51 of ice time with the man advantage Thursday, so he should have plenty of opportunities to rack up points in 2025-26.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Scores twice in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Aho scored two goals on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.
Aho cashed in twice off of turnovers in the first period, giving the Hurricanes some belief they could keep their season going. The Panthers then squashed that hope over the final 40 minutes. Aho put up seven goals, 15 points, 41 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-3 rating over 15 playoff outings. He's signed through 2031-32, so look for the 27-year-old to once again center the Hurricanes' top line next season.

Rotowire

The 27-year-old is up to four goals, eight assists, seven power-play points, 31 shots on net, 42 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 13 playoff contests. The Hurricanes are facing a 3-0 series deficit heading into Monday's Game 4, and if Aho doesn't pick up the pace on offense, they'll see their playoff run come to an end.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Dealing with personal matter
Rotowire
Aho will miss practice Friday while dealing with a personal matter.
Aho's absence hopefully won't impact his availability for Game 1 of the second-round series against the Capitals -- which will likely start Sunday or Monday. If the center were to miss any game time, it would likely fall to Jesperi Kotkaniemi to move into the first-line center role. Aho has been stellar in the postseason, racking up three goals and five helpers in the five games against the Devils.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Plays hero to clinch series win

The 27-year-old tied the score at 4-4 with his first tally midway through the second period, then ended the night, and the series, with a one-timer from the faceoff circle past Jacob Markstrom early in the second OT. Aho has reeled off three straight multi-point performances, and he'll head into the second round with three goals and eight points through five games this postseason.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Dishes two apples in road win
Rotowire
Aho banked a pair of assists, including one with the man advantage, levied three hits and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-2 win over New Jersey in Game 4.
After starting this series with just one helper across the first two games, Aho has produced back-to-back multi-point efforts. The Finnish center logged the secondary helper on two of Andrei Svechnikov's three goals in Sunday's road victory. Aho and Svechnikov, who were reunited on the top line in this contest, are tied for the team lead in playoff scoring with five points over four outings. Based on that duo's output in Game 4, Seth Jarvis may be relegated to a second-line role for now, unless he's able to overtake Jackson Blake's first-line assignment. Aho and his club can advance to the second round if they secure a win in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Two power-play points in Game 3
Rotowire
Aho registered a goal and an assist, both on the power play, and added four hits in Friday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Devils in Game 3.
Aho had been limited to one assist over two games to begin the first-round playoff series before a bigger performance in Game 3. The center has added seven shots on net, nine hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three postseason contests. Aho is in his usual spots on the first line and top power-play unit, so he should continue to be a driving force on offense for the Hurricanes.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Slated to sit against Montreal
Rotowire
Aho didn't take part in Wednesday's morning skate and is expected to rest during the Hurricanes' matchup against the Canadiens, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
The Hurricanes have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, so Aho will be one of several players resting in the penultimate game of the regular season. Aho is in the midst of a three-game point streak in which he's recorded a goal, three assists, four hits and three blocked shots, and it's unclear whether he'll suit up in Thursday's regular-season finale against Ottawa. Regardless of whether he plays against the Senators, Aho should be available for the start of postseason play.

He's still had a strong year with 28 goals, 45 assists, 203 shots on net, 55 hits and a plus-7 rating over 78 appearances. It's possible he's struggled with multiple changes to the composition of the top line, going from Martin Necas to Mikko Rantanen to Jackson Blake as the Hurricanes shook up the league with two blockbuster trades.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Notches goal Friday
Rotowire
Aho tallied a goal and fired four shots on net in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Aho put the puck top shelf past Sam Montembeault in transition to tally Carolina's second of two goals in a two-and-a-half minute span. The 27-year-old Aho is up to 27 goals, 66 points and 185 shots on net in 71 appearances this season. Friday's tally ended a three-game scoreless skid for Aho, who has 15 points in his last 18 outings. Carolina's top-line center is just four points away from reaching the 70-point mark for the fourth time in nine seasons. Despite his recent scoreless streak, Aho is a must-start in all fantasy formats.
