    At this point, the sky's the limit for Sebastian Aho.

    After scoring two goal and picking up three assists over the Carolina Hurricanes last two games, Aho has now moved into third place for two more franchise records.

    With 302 assists, Aho passed his head coach Rod Brind'Amour (299) for the third most assists in franchise history on Thursday and with 251 goals, Aho passed Kevin Dineen (250) for the third most goals in franchise history on Saturday.

    In both categories Aho trails only Eric Staal (322 goals, 453 assists) and Ron Francis (382 goals, 793 assists)

    Also earlier last month, Aho became third in franchise points, leaving him in sole possession of each of the big three scoring categories.

    Those aren't the only franchise milestones Aho's reached this season either as he also became the all-time leader in shorthanded goals (17) earlier in the year, third in franchise hat tricks (8) and second in game-winning goals (54).

    It's been a career year for Aho who set a new high in points (85) with his two-point outing on Saturday.

    He also sits just five goals away from tying his career high and seven goals away from a potential 40-goal season with seven games remaining in the regular season.

    The franchise centerman has had tremendous chemistry with new addition Jake Guentzel as well as Seth Jarvis as of late, so I wouldn't necessarily bet against him either.

    The trio has a 60.5% Corsi For Percentage, a 63.6% expected goals for percentage and a 100% actual goals for (9 for, 0 against).

    Aho's been the driving force on that line and for Carolina all season and if he can carry this same success into the postseason, the Hurricanes may be unstoppable.
