The Chicago Blackhawks had a chance to win two games in a row for just the third time this season, but the Carolina Hurricanes had other ideas. Despite falling behind 2-0 in the first period, the visitors came from behind to win 4-3 in overtime.
It was Aho's fourth OT winner of the season (the Canes have four overtime victories and Necas has also assisted on every one as well) and the 15th of his career. Since he entered the league in 2017-18, only Leon Draisaitl (17) has more overtime game-winning goals.
CHICAGO (AP) — Sebastian Aho scored 59 seconds into overtime, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Monday night. Seth Jarvis, Jordan Staal and Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored for Carolina in its second straight win. Staal picked up his 700th career point in game No. 1,300.
