Aho scores twice, Hurricanes top Canadiens 3-1
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes are threatening to move up in the Metropolitan Division, thanks in part to the play of young forward Sebastian Aho and veteran goalie Cam Ward.
Aho scored two goals in the third period, and the Hurricanes beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Aho’s power-play goal midway through the third put Carolina in front, and he later added an empty-netter. The 20-year-old Finn now has 10 goals this season.
Ward, who led the Hurricanes to the 2006 Stanley Cup at age 22, is 9-2-1 after stopping 23 shots on Wednesday.
