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.

After a whirlwind Friday night (Jan. 24) where the Carolina Hurricanes made their blockbuster trade, they set their sights on their next game. They were set to take on the New York Islanders at UBS Arena for a Metropolitan Division tilt in their 50th game of the 2024-25 season.

The Carolina Hurricanes had a big shakeup to their roster last night, adding superstar winger Mikko Rantanen and forward Taylor Hall in exchange for Martin Necas and Jack Drury. The two forward made their way to New York today and are in the lineup for the Canes' 7:30 game against the New York Islanders.

The franchise's leader in game-winning goals potted the 60th of his career on a one-timer teed up by Martin Necas 59 seconds into the extra frame, converting the only shot attempted by either club in overtime. Aho has scored the game-winner in all four of Carolina's overtime victories this season.

Jaccob Slavin (1g, 1a) has points in back-to-back games. Jordan Staal will play in his 1,300th NHL game tonight, becoming the 74th player in league history to reach that milestone and the first from the 2006 draft class. Staal is also two points shy of 700 career points.

The former North Dakota star, who played 40 games in college last season, is approaching 50 in his first pro season.

The Carolina Hurricanes swept the season series against the Vegas Golden Knights with a 3-2 win at Lenovo Center on Friday night. The Canes survived an early push from Vegas and stormed back in the second and third periods to take and lead and hold it. Here are three takeaways from the win:

Well it looks like Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour is giving rookie Jackson Blake a shot to make his mark as he's seemingly been moved up to the team's top line before Carolina's Friday night match against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Hurricanes are looking to finally get over the hump in the Eastern Conference, and could trade one of these players in a larger package.

A 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres is the latest in a handful of unacceptable performances.
