Sebastian Aho Goal Helps Hurricanes Edge Lightning

Aho’s power-play goal ended a back-and-forth game as Carolina extended its point streak to 11 games, with goalie Brandon Bussi making 24 saves to secure the win.

  • On Thursday night in Raleigh, Sebastian Aho scored a power-play goal through traffic at the 7:17 mark of the third, lifting the Carolina Hurricanes to a 5-4 lead and win.
  • Returning from the Olympic break, both teams had been rolling, with Carolina jumping to a 3-0 lead in the first seven minutes before Tampa Bay tied early in the second.
  • Carolina received goals from Nikolaj Ehlers, Logan Stankoven, Taylor Hall and Seth Jarvis, while Brandon Bussi recorded 24 saves in the victory.
  • The Hurricanes held off Tampa Bay while the Lightning used an extra attacker in the final minutes, and the result marked Tampa Bay’s regulation loss for only the second time since Dec. 18.
  • The Lightning were again without head coach Jon Cooper; the team announced Wednesday he would miss the Toronto and Carolina games, with Rob Zettler serving as acting head coach.
