Aho out indefinitely for Hurricanes with concussion, lower-body injury

Sebastian Aho is out indefinitely for the Carolina Hurricanes with a concussion and lower-body injury.
The forward was injured in a 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames at PNC Arena on Sunday when he was hit by defenseman Mark Giordano, who was assessed a match penalty for an illegal check to the head.

"I'm surprised [Aho] continued on with the puck, to be honest with you," Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said after the game. "He was in a real good spot to shoot it. Obviously, there was some head contact. I don't know if there was much intent. I thought his arm was tucked in low. It was unfortunate."
Selected by the Hurricanes in the second round (No. 35) of the 2015 NHL Draft, Aho leads Carolina in goals (16) and points (37).
The Hurricanes (20-17-8) are on a six-day break and play the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; FS-D, FS-CR, NHL.TV). They trail the New York Rangers by one point for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference.
