Sebastian Aho is coming off another very successful season for the Carolina Hurricanes, with 36 goals and 89 points for the Finnish Forward in 78 games.
Sebastian Aho also put up 11 points in 12 playoff games, when the Carolina Hurricanes were defeated by the New York Rangers in the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
In the 2023-24 season, Aho passed his head coach Rod Brind’Amour (299) for the third most assists in franchise history and Aho passed Kevin Dineen (250) for the third most goals in franchise history.
Sebastian Aho trails only Eric Staal (322 goals, 453 assists) and Ron Francis (382 goals, 793 assists), if he passes both he will be the all-time leader in goals and points for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Those aren’t the only franchise milestones Aho’s reached this season either as he also became the all-time leader in shorthanded goals (17) earlier in the 23-24 season, third in franchise hat tricks (8), and second in game-winning goals (54).
