Aho's power-play goal helps Hurricanes beat Lightning 5-4 in meeting of Eastern Conference's best

Sebastian Aho banged in a power-play goal through traffic midway through the third period to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-4 on Thursday night. Aho's shot from up top slipped past Jonas Johansson, with Carolina captain Jordan Staal rooted in front of Johansson at the top of the crease to make it 5-4 at the 7:17 mark of the third.
