Aho's historic assist streak snapped in loss to Coyotes

There's always next year for Sebastian Aho.

After picking up at least one assist through the season's first 12 games - a feat that matched NHL legend Wayne Gretzky for most all time - the Carolina Hurricanes forward failed to add another helper in Friday's overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes.

Aho was held scoreless on the night, and while he won't take sole possession of top spot in NHL history, his showing through the first dozen contests was, naturally, good enough to set a Hurricanes record.

The Finnish forward has registered 17 points across 13 contests this season.
