Hurricanes' Aho back in lineup vs. Senators

Sebastian Aho made a speedy recovery.

The Carolina Hurricanes winger returned to the lineup Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators, just four games after the club ruled him out indefinitely.

Aho had been sidelined with a concussion and what the Hurricanes described as a lower-body injury after a hit by Calgary Flames blue-liner Mark Giordano.

Sitting first in team scoring with 37 points at the time of his injury, Aho now trails only Teuvo Teravainen for the top spot.

Aho's return is critical for Carolina, as the Hurricanes sit four points back of the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
