Sebastian Aho is a superstar.
The Canes won a thrilling game over the Pacific-leading Vegas Golden Knights Tuesday night in PNC Arena, beating Vegas 4-3 in overtime on an Aho game-winning goal.
Aho’s winner was his second of the game, as Carolina bounced back from two blown two-goal leads to get two points in the extra period. Nino Niederreiter and Vincent Trocheck both scored in the second period after a ho-hum first, with Aho adding a third-period tally on the power play.
For Vegas, Nolan Patrick used a brilliant individual effort to cut a 2-0 deficit to 2-1, while Brett Howden and Nicolas Hague scored two straight late in the third to overcome a 3-1 deficit and force overtime.
