With his goal today, Sebastian Aho is the first player in #Canes/Whalers history with eight career 25-goal seasons. He bested the previous mark set by Ron Francis (7).

Frederik Andersen, following a fifth consecutive win: "Divisional games are always important, and you always want to try to do your best against teams you see a lot. We’ve seen them a lot lately, and it was a good effort today.”

Nikolaj Ehlers with /hannaRyates: “You always want to start out the right way, and I think we really did that today. If you can keep that going into the start of the second and the start of the third, you set yourself up for a good game, and I think we played great today.” [Response to a (1/2)

Three power plays. Three power play shots. Three power play goals.

40 minutes down, 20 (o̶r̶ m̶o̶r̶e̶) to go. 4-0, #Canes. It's a one-sided affair right now in Pittsburgh!

Just absurd patience from Nikolaj Ehlers, who knew what he was doing the whole way. That's Jarvis' 29th of the season.

ANOTHER power play goal for the #Canes! They're three-for-three today as Seth Jarvis chimes in to extend the lead to 4-0.

The #Canes are looking strong in the Steel City! 👷‍♂️

The official scorer is giving it to Chatfield initially, and Will Carrier was also in the area. We'll see where it lands eventually. Regardless, Carolina has been effective in front of the net today.

The #Canes add to their lead! Make it 3-0 after Mark Jankowski tips home a Jalen Chatfield shot.

Two power plays. Two power play shots. Two power play goals.

No. 27 drew the call that led to the game-opening power play goal, and now he takes care of business himself. A perfectly placed pass by Seth Jarvis earns him his second assist of the afternoon.

The #Canes add another power play goal! It's 2-0 after Nikolaj Ehlers wires home a one-timer.

Will Carrier makes his presence felt 💪

Done with 20 minutes at PPG Paints Arena. 1-0, #Canes. Carolina came ready to go and took the game's first lead 47 seconds in. Pittsburgh had a quality pushback in response, but Frederik Andersen was sharp when he needed to be.

For the sixth time this season, the #Canes score in the first 60 seconds. ⏰

Robby quieted the noise 🤫

Tonight marked the first time in franchise history that the #Canes/Whalers scored a power-play, shorthanded and penalty-shot goal in the same period.

K'Andre Miller with some high praise for Alexander Nikishin, post-game. 🤝

The first rookie defenseman in franchise history with 10 goals in a season - Alexander Nikishin.

Wednesday night, it was Sean Walker's first career overtime winner. Tonight, it's Alexander Nikishin's first career overtime winner. It's a good time on the #Canes blue line! 🎉

W! Alexander Nikishin's first career overtime winner earns the #Canes a 4-3 victory in Toronto. A memorable game, as Carolina also scored on the power play, a penalty shot, and shorthanded before the dagger. Brandon Bussi earns the win in net, stopping 23.

The rookie defenseman jumps onto the ice and ends the contest just seconds later. Efficient!

Alexander Nikishin, overtiiiiiiiiiiime winner! The #Canes win 4-3 in Toronto.

For a second straight game, the #Canes are off to OT. Toronto is 8-12 in the bonus frame this season, while Carolina is 12-6.

William Nylander ties it up for Toronto with 6:10 left in regulation. 3-3.

With an assist in the second period, Sebastian Aho becomes just the third player to record five 70-point seasons with the #Canes/Whalers, joining Ron Francis (11) and Eric Staal (7).

K'Andre Miller does it himself, and gives the #Canes shorthanded goals in back-to-back games. 💪

40 minutes down, 20 (o̶r̶ m̶o̶r̶e̶) to go. 3-2, #Canes. What the first period may have lacked in entertainment, the second frame certainly did not. A power play goal, penalty shot strike, and shorthanded marker have the visitors in front headed to the finish.

Impressively, Miller stripped Morgan Rielly in the defending end and pulled the solo act from there. Those are some smooooooooth hands from the d-man.

The #Canes jump back in front! K'Andre Miller springs himself on a shorthanded breakaway, and he cashes in.

Eric Robinson's goal was the first successful regular-season penalty shot for the #Canes since Stefan Noesen scored against Seattle on Dec. 15, 2022. Both Jordan Martinook (2023) and Evgeny Kuznetsov (2024) had converted in more recent postseasons. [Response to a quoted post]

It's a penalty shot goal for Eric Robinson! 🥳

Toronto answers right back. John Tavares makes it a 2-2 game with 6:13 remaining in the second period.

What a moment for Robby. Scratched earlier in the week, he's been excellent tonight, and now comes through at a pivotal moment.

Eric Robinson puts the #Canes in front! He picks his spot on a penalty shot.

The big fe11a tips home his 17th of the season! 💸

On their fourth try of the night, a Seth Jarvis rocket gets deflected in front by the Captain. It's been a great start to the second period, and the group is rewarded for it.

Jordan Staal ties it up for the #Canes! Finally, the man advantage breaks through early in the second period.

Done with 20 minutes at Scotiabank Arena. 1-0, Leafs. A tight-checking and mostly low-event period. The #Canes held the home side to just four shots, which is great, but one of them found a home.

Toronto opens the scoring with 8:12 left in the first period. Dakota Joshua crashes the net and puts home a rebound.

Taylor Hall plays in his 100th game as a Hurricane tonight when they take on the Leafs - Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Hall - Stankoven - Blake Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Carrier - Jankowski - Robinson Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Reilly - Nikishin Bussi
