Carolina Hurricanes general manager Ron Francis said Sunday that forward Sebastian Aho was “day to day” with a lower-body injury suffered Saturday against the Boston Bruins.
Aho, who shares the Canes’ scoring lead this season with 33 points, sustained an apparent leg injury with 1:35 left in the first period of the Canes’ 7-1 loss to the Bruins in Boston.
Aho and Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller got their legs tangled and Aho awkwardly fell backward, twsiting his right left. He did not return to the game.
Aho was evaluated by doctors Sunday in Raleigh and his “day to day” status indicates the injury was not a serious one.
