In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Sebastian Aho led the Carolina Hurricanes to a dynamic performance, marking significant milestones in his career. Aho not only scored a hat trick, bringing his season goal tally to 30, but also became the first Hurricanes player to reach this mark for the season. His exceptional play contributed significantly to the game's high-scoring outcome, which ended in a 6-6 tie. Additionally, Aho's achievements included tying with Kevin Dineen for career assists at 544 and ascending to third in the franchise's all-time points list. The game also featured noteworthy contributions from other players, including Martinook and Slavin, who scored goals, and Kotkaniemi, who provided a crucial assist. Necas assisted Martinook for the first goal, and Aho's 29th goal of the season was part of his hat trick. Skjei also scored, bringing the final score to 6-6.

Nice little stick handle by Necas to get around the defender and put the shot on net. Unfortunately no dice as it stays 2-1 Hurricanes at 17:43 in the second period #CauseChaos

Superb transition hockey from the Canes! Necas drfaws defense down, feeds Martinook a little higher up and 1-0!
