One of the biggest surprises of the young season for the Carolina Hurricanes so far had been the goal drought of star sophomore Sebastian Aho. After scoring 24 goals as a rookie, Aho had gone 15 games without notching a single goal.
Even though it took Aho 16 games to get there, this looks like the same pattern he had last season. Aho really took off in November of 2016 that kicked off a campaign where he also managed 32 assists. Moreover, Aho produced in the assist department while getting held out of the goal column.
Aho notched eight assists already, helping his line mates, Jordan Staal and Teuvo Teravainen.
