From one Aho to another.

Carolina Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho scored twice against New York Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho on Saturday at UBS Arena.
The Hurricanes forward deflected a pass from Teuvo Teravainen off the skate of the Islanders defenseman and into the back of the net to give Carolina a 3-2 lead in the second period.
The battle of the Ahos did not stop there for the night.
In the third period, the Hurricanes' Aho intercepted a pass from the Islanders' Aho in New York's zone and fired a wrist shot past Ilya Sorokin for his second goal of the game.
