RALEIGH, N.C. - The Finnish Ice Hockey Association, in conjunction with the NHL and the NHL Players' Association, announced its leadership group for February's 4 Nations Face-Off on Thursday. Carolina Hurricanes forwards Sebastian Aho and Mikko Rantanen were named alternate captains.

Aho scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers. Aho has scored in three straight games and has four goals and three helpers over his last five outings.

This all while the clubs around them in the playoff push continue to pick up points. That’s what has made the Rangers situation so precarious despite their uptick in play lately.

Michael Finewax suggests trading for Linus Ullmark in fantasy hockey leagues, who is close to returning to the Ottawa lineup from a back injury.

Hurricanes superstar Mikko Rantanen opened up about playing with Sebastian Aho for the first time in a long while after his trade.

For one, Brind’Amour is pairing his two best players by putting them on a line together. Aho has led the Hurricanes in scoring in six of the last seven seasons, and Rantanen was a superstar in Colorado, logging more minutes than any forward in the league since the start of the 2021-22 season.

The Carolina Hurricanes acquire a superstar from the Colorado Avalanche in a massive trade that will help Sebastian Aho on offense. The Chicago Blackhawks are also part of the trade, which is one of the most resounding moves of the 2024-25 NHL season.

Aho scored a goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Sebastian Aho scored the game-winning goal in overtime and Jaccob Slavin collected three assists as the visiting Carolina Hurricanes notched a 4-3 comeback victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday.
