Sebastian Aho
Aho's six shots and three points against Philadelphia represent a strong night for a player already producing at a near point-per-game pace. His recent averages include 0.36 goals, 0.59 assists and 2.6 shots per game over 228 games in the model sample. He skates 19:43 a night at even strength and leads all Carolina skaters with 3:05 per game on the power play, where he quarterbacks the first unit.
The underlying numbers suggest his scoring should hold up. His process score of 82 out of 100 among forwards measures his shot volume, scoring chances and ice time, all indicators of repeatable production. Carolina plays three more times this week, with games on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. Aho remains a hold at his established level of production.

• Keep Sebastian Aho active in all formats, as his three remaining games this week offer solid volume.
• His power-play role and underlying process score support his near point-per-game production going forward.
• Treat this as a normal night for a player already producing at this level, not a reason to change your roster strategy.
