Sebastian Aho posts three points in Hurricanes win over Canadiens

Aho's one goal and two assists against Montreal was a strong outing, but his fantasy value was already reflected in his 0.95 points per game average.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 7, 2026

Sebastian Aho recorded one goal and two assists on three shots in 19:56 of ice time in Carolina's 6-4 victory over Montreal on Tuesday, October 6. His goal came on the power play, and he finished even with two hits.

The three-point performance stands well above Aho's recent averages of 0.95 points per game, but those numbers already price in his status as a top-line, first-unit center. His underlying play grades 82 out of 100 among forwards, a measure of how sustainable his scoring is.

Sebastian Aho

Aho averages 0.36 goals and 0.59 assists per game in his recent sample, with 0.30 power-play points nightly. He logs 19:43 a night overall and 3:05 on the power play, where he ranks first among all Carolina skaters. The process score of 82 reflects strong shot volume (2.6 per game), scoring chances and ice time, all signals that his production should hold steady.

Carolina has four games remaining this week, on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, giving Aho four more chances to produce. His recent peripherals include 0.8 hits and 0.3 blocks per game. Keep him in your lineup for the high game count, but expect the kind of output his averages suggest, not a repeat of Tuesday's spike.

What to do

• Start Sebastian Aho in all formats for Carolina's four remaining games this week.

• Do not expect three-point nights every time out, as his 0.95 points per game reflects his true level.

• Lock Aho into your center slot for the busy stretch through Sunday.
