Carolina extends streak to 3

Sebastian Aho has earned a point in every game this season. So have the Hurricanes, in the team’s best start since the franchise left Hartford, Conn., in 1997.

Aho had a goal and an assist, and Carolina beat the visiting Canucks 5-3 on Tuesday night for its third straight win to improve to 3-0-1 under new head coach and former team captain Rod Brind’Amour. The Hurricanes earned points in their first four games for the first time since 1994-95, when they were still the Whalers and opened 4-0-1.
