Rotowire
Aho didn't take part in Wednesday's morning skate and is expected to rest during the Hurricanes' matchup against the Canadiens, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
The Hurricanes have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, so Aho will be one of several players resting in the penultimate game of the regular season. Aho is in the midst of a three-game point streak in which he's recorded a goal, three assists, four hits and three blocked shots, and it's unclear whether he'll suit up in Thursday's regular-season finale against Ottawa. Regardless of whether he plays against the Senators, Aho should be available for the start of postseason play.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Posts multi-point night
Rotowire
Aho scored a goal, dished a power-play assist and took two shots on net in Saturday's 5-0 win over Philadelphia.
Aho lit the lamp for Saturday's opening goal before providing the main helper for Taylor Hall's power-play tally. Saturday was Aho's first multi-point performance since Feb. 8 and 16th multi-point outing of the season. The 27-year-old is up to 25 goals, 39 assists and 173 shots across 66 appearances this season. Carolina's superstar has been hot since the beginning of February with 13 points in his last 13 outings.

Aho scored a shorthanded goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.
Defensive miscues by Boston in its own end led to Carolina's first and last goals of the night, and Aho was the recipient of the first gift early in the first period.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Lights the lamp Thursday
Rotowire
Aho scored a goal and added three shots on net in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.
Aho's tally arrived with less than three minutes in regulation to help the Hurricanes avoid a shutout. Thursday's game raised the Finnish forward's season totals to 18 goals, 52 points, and 143 shots on net across 54 appearances this season. Aho's tally in the third period was his first point since missing Carolina's contest Jan. 30 with an illness. Centering the top line alongside Mikko Rantanen and Seth Jarvis, the 27-year-old is in a good place to continue producing points once the new line combination develops more chemistry. Aho is off the pace to best his career-high of 89 points from a year ago but should challenge for 70-80 points this season.
