Sebastian Aho has turned it up a notch since the Carolina Hurricanes returned from the All-Star break and league-mandated bye.
Aho carries a five-game goal-scoring streak into the Hurricanes' finale of a four-game road trip against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old Finn has six tallies during his goal-scoring run and four assists spread over his six-game point streak. But it is Carolina's recent run of good fortune that is putting a smile on his face.
The Hurricanes have won back-to-back games and five of their last seven to remain in contention in the congested Metropolitan Division.
