Hurricanes beat the Flyers 3-2 in OT for their first win as Aho scores 2

Sebastian Aho scored two goals and provided an assist for Shayne Gostisbehere's overtime winner, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Gostisbehere, a former Flyer, netted the opening power play goal, outpacing Flyers goalie Joseph Woll with a slap shot just 2:51 into the extra period. Aho opened the scoring 10 seconds into the game with a goal from a pass by William Carrier.

Tying the game at 2-2 in the third period, Aho added a power-play goal with a one-timer from Nikolai Ehlers. Pyotr Kochetkov made 16 saves for the Hurricanes in the win, which marked the team's first of the season following two consecutive losses. This victory also tied a record set by the Flyers from 1980 to 1988, as it represented the ninth consecutive season the Hurricanes have won their road opener.

Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour became the first coach to achieve this accomplishment. The Flyers, however, suffered their third straight opening-day loss. For the Flyers, Owen Tippett and Matvei Michkov scored their first goals of the season. Woll made 37 saves for the Flyers, who had been outshot 122-62 combined in their first three games.

This game marked the first meeting between the Hurricanes and Flyers since the Hurricanes swept the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season. Heading forward, the Hurricanes will travel to Montreal to face the Canadiens on Tuesday, while the Flyers will start a three-game road trip against Tampa Bay.
