Hurricanes Rally in Overtime; Aho Secures 3-2 Win Against Oilers

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024

Sebastian Aho played a crucial role in leading the Carolina Hurricanes to an overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers, with a final score of 3-2. Aho not only scored the winning goal in overtime but also contributed an assist during the Hurricanes' comeback in the third period. His decisive one-timer found its way past Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner with just 6.1 seconds left on the clock in overtime.

Martin Necas had a noteworthy performance by scoring once and providing two assists, while Shayne Gostisbehere found the net for the fourth game in a row and also registered an assist. For the Oilers, Connor McDavid was the standout player, finding the back of the net twice.

Frederik Andersen, tending goal for the Hurricanes, and Stuart Skinner for the Oilers, both delivered remarkable saves throughout the match.

During the third period, Skinner's quick leg save on Necas kept the game alive for the Oilers, but they couldn't clear the puck effectively, allowing Gostisbehere to continue his scoring streak.

The Oilers are facing ongoing issues with their performance, as their goals per game, penalty killing, and power play are all lacking. Against Carolina, they managed to score just one power-play goal.

Looking ahead, the Hurricanes are set to play against the Flames on Thursday, while the Oilers will host the Penguins on Friday.
