Canes, Aho burn Flames in OT


The Canes beat the Flames, 2-1, in overtime as Sebastian Aho registered his 5th overtime game winning goal of the season. The Hurricanes have five OT wins this season and all have come courtesy of their top centerman. Jaccob Slavin and Jackson Blake each had 2 points on the night, Slavin's 6th goal of the year -- from Blake -- came with about 30 seconds left in the 2nd period and gave Carolina a 1-0 lead. The pair each has assists on Aho's 23rd goal of the season. Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 15 of 16 shots in the win, his second over the Flames this year. On the down side, the Canes were 0 for 6 on the power play and have gone 5 for 65 with the man advantage since the calendar turned to 2025.
