Sebastian Aho’s overtime goal lifts Hurricanes to 4-3 win over Penguins
Sebastian Aho’s goal at 1:30 in overtime led the Carolina Hurricanes to a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night.
Aho added two assists. Seth Jarvis had two goals and Jalen Chatfield also scored for the Hurricanes, who improved to 3-0 against Pittsburgh this season. Dustin Tokarski had 16 saves for the Hurricanes.
Kevin Hayes, Michael Bunting and Erik Karlsson scored for the Penguins. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 26 shots for Pittsburgh.
The Penguins built a 2-0 lead in the first six minutes of the game. Hayes and Bunting beat Tokarski for the early advantage.
Aho set up Jarvis’ first goal and then fed Chatfield to tie the game at 2-2 with 7:15 left in the second period. Jarvis made it 3-2 with an assist from Andrei Svechnikov with 3:42 left in the second.
Penguins: Pittsburgh has struggled on the road since a 9-2 win at Montreal on Dec. 12. Production from stars Sidney Crosby (1 goal, 1 assist) and Evgeni Malkin (0 goals, 3 assists) has been scarce in those road losses.
Hurricanes: Falling behind 2-0 in the first period felt like a continuation of Saturday’s 4-0 home loss to Minnesota. Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour is looking for more consistency. The Hurricanes have alternated losses and wins in their past six games.
The Hurricanes penalty kill, second-best in the NHL, held up late in regulation when Chatfield was sent to the box for a delay of game with 3 minutes left in the third period.
Aho’s overtime goal was his 600th career point in his ninth season with Carolina. Jarvis’ second-period assist was the 100th of his career.
The Penguins host Columbus on Tuesday while the Hurricanes travel to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
