During a practice drill Tuesday at PNC Arena, Carolina Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho got off three good shots from the slot in rapid succession.
Goalie Scott Darling made clean saves on the first and third shots, and the second clanged off the crossbar. Call it a 10-second microcosm of Aho’s season.
In the Canes’ first 10 games, Aho has had 28 shots on goal and 54 total shot attempts. Nothing has gone in the net. Off the posts, off the crossbar, blocked, off goalie pads and paddles, but not in. Not past an opposing goalie.
If that bothers Aho, it doesn’t show.
