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, as Carolina Hurricanes triumphed over Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Saturday night. Gostisbehere, a former Flyer, opened the scoring in the first extra period with a slap shot past Philadelphia's goalkeeper Joseph Woll. Aho also scored 10 seconds into the game following a pass from William Carrier, tying the score at 2-2 in the third period with a power-play goal from Nikolai Ehlers.

Pyotr Kochetkov made 16 saves for Carolina. This victory marked the Hurricanes' first win of the season after they started with two losses, tying an NHL record of nine consecutive road opener wins set by the Flyers from 1980 to 1988. The game was also the first between Carolina and Philadelphia since the Hurricanes defeated the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season.

The Flyers fell to their third straight season-opening loss, the first time they've lost three games in a row since the 2014-15 season. The Flyers scored through Owen Tippett and Matvei Michkov, who were the first forwards to score goals for the team this season. Woll made 37 saves for the Flyers, who have been outshot 122-62 in their first three games.
