So have the Carolina Hurricanes.It adds up to the best start since the team left Hartford.Aho had a goal and an assist, and the Hurricanes beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-3 on Tuesday night for their third straight win.Warren Foegele scored an important insurance goal in the third period, Andrei Svechnikov, Jordan Staal and Brett Pesce also scored and Teuvo Teravainen had two assists.“I think we’ve had a good start as a line,” Aho said.And as a team, too. They helped the Eastern Conference-leading Hurricanes improve to 3-0-1 — their most productive start since the move from Hartford in 1997 — under new coach and former team captain Rod Brind’Amour. They earned points in their first four games for the first time since 1994-95, when they were still the Whalers and opened 4-0-1.“It’s fun, right?” Foegele said. “High-scoring games, a bunch of young guys in here keeping it young, too. The group’s been good, and that’s what you want to see.”Sven Baertschi had two goals and an assist, and Bo Horvat scored on the power play for rebuilding Vancouver

It’s frustrating.”Aho

His second came on the power play at 3:24 of the second and pulled the Canucks to 4-3, capping a furious stretch in which the teams combined for three goals in a span of 2:38.NOTES: Vancouver rookie C Elias Pettersson, who assisted on Baertschi’s second goal, has six points in his first three games. … D Haydn Fleury was in the Carolina lineup for the first time after he was a healthy scratch in each of first three games. Trevor van Riemsdyk was scratched instead. … LW Tim Schaller and D Ben Hutton made their season debuts for Vancouver.UP NEXTCanucks: Continue their six-game road swing Thursday night at Tampa Bay.Hurricanes: Begin a three-game road trip Saturday night at Minnesota. Carter Hutton ought to be feeling pressure to perform well when the Buffalo Sabres visit the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday evening at Staples Center.Hutton is set to make his seventh start in goal for the Sabres and he has been subpar in his past three outings.Meanwhile, backup goalie Linus Ullmark made 20 saves in a 5-1 victory at the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon. Ullmark had 36 saves in his other start this season, a 3-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 13.Article continues below ...Hutton is 0-3-0 in his past three appearances, allowing 13 goals on 96 shots for an .865 save percentage.Buffalo (4-4-0) hasn’t provided much cushion for Hutton either, scoring one goal in each of his past three starts.The Sabres adjusted their lines and that seemed to make a difference against the Kings.Jeff Skinner and Jason Pominville moved onto the top line with center Jack Eichel and Skinner had his fifth career hat trick in the win.Pominville added a goal and two assists to become the third player from the 2001 NHL Draft class with 700 points. He had just one assist in the first seven games. “I thought the line played pretty well

I think a majority of our offense was created off the cycle.”Skinner had one of his hat tricks in Anaheim while a member of the Carolina Hurricanes. He scored three goals in a 5-1 victory on Dec. 11, 2015.Sutton has made four career appearances against Anaheim, owning a 1-2-1 record, 3.00 goals-against average and .888 save percentage.The Ducks (5-2-1) are expected to start goalie Ryan Miller after John Gibson played Saturday night in a 3-1 loss at the Vegas Golden Knights.Miller played for Buffalo from 2002 to 2014 and remains the franchise leader in several career categories, including games played by a goalie (540), minutes (33,661) and wins (284).Miller made his only other start this season on Sunday at the St. Louis Blues, saving 29 of 31 shots in the 3-2 victory.The Ducks have been known as a physically intimidating team in the past. They’ve had to take a step back as they infuse younger players into the lineup, but Skinner said the Sabres will be ready if Anaheim wants to play that style.Kyle Okposo and Zach Bogosian stood up to the Kings on Saturday.“We have sort of that mentality that we’re all going to stick up for one another, which is a nice feeling,” Skinner said.The first goal has been huge in games involving the Sabres this season. The team that has taken a 1-0 lead has led the rest of the way in all eight games.The Ducks plan to retire the jersey of Paul Kariya before the game.
