After falling behind 3-0 in each of their last two games, the Carolina Hurricanes were desperate for a good start. On Saturday night, their top player helped provide exactly that.
Sebastian Aho slammed home a power play goal early in the first period for his 13th goal of the season. Aho later added an assist, his ninth, as the Canes defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2, bouncing back from a disappointing shutout the night before at home.
Jaccob Slavin recorded a goal and an assist, Jordan Martinook scored his first goal of the year, and Clark Bishop got his first point of the season.
