Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Extends point streak in loss
Rotowire
Aho produced an even-strength assist Friday in a 3-1 loss to the Capitals.
Aho set up Seth Jarvis' ninth goal of the campaign in the third period to cut Washington's lead to 3-1, but that was the only marker Charlie Lindgren would allow. Aho has points in three consecutive games, collecting two goals and two helpers in that span. The Finnish center has been held off the scoresheet on just one occasion through eight contests in December, and he's won 55.8 percent of his faceoffs during that stretch. Aho is up to nine goals, 34 points and a minus-5 rating through 32 appearances, and he trails only Martin Necas for the team lead in scoring.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Keeps point streak alive
Rotowire
Aho delivered two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
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.

Rotowire

Aho scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.
Aho had the primary assist on Seth Jarvis' power-play marker early in the second period.
