Canadiens rally past Canes, spoil Sebastian Aho's big game

Montreal Canadiens scored five unanswered goals in a comeback win, ending Sebastian Aho's bid to match a franchise point-streak record, with multiple players contributing.

  • On Thursday in Raleigh, the Montreal Canadiens erased a two-goal deficit to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 7-5, sealed by Hutson's empty-netter.
  • Carolina's rapid scoring included a three-goal burst from Nikolaj Ehlers, Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov, plus Alexander Nikishin's power-play goal 54 seconds into the second period.
  • Late in the second period, Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson scored at 16:23 and 16:46 to regain the lead, while Sammy Blais and Juraj Slafkovsky added crucial goals in the third.
  • Goalie Brandon Bussi stopped 16 shots but took his second regulation loss in 16 games, while Carolina lost for the second time in their last 6 home games.
  • Looking ahead, both clubs play Saturday with the Canadiens at St. Louis and Carolina hosting Colorado after Sebastian Aho finished with two goals and three assists, trying to match a 13 consecutive games record.
