Sebastian Aho: 2019-20 (through 2-12-20)

  • 3 shorthanded (~10%)

So, when we clean up the goals that fall under multiple categories, 27 (90%) of Sebastian Aho’s 31 goals have come at key times for the Carolina Hurricanes.  Aho’s current pace means he should have 15 goals left, at least (a guy can hope).  That production will be key as the Hurricanes push to make consecutive playoff appearances for the first time since 2002.

The good thing is that Aho seems to score the majority of his goals when his team needs a jolt.  That’s something that will have to continue if the Hurricanes hope to be playing meaningful hockey this spring.

Do you think Sebastian Aho will come up clutch for the Carolina Hurricanes down the stretch?
