Patrik Laine, Auston Matthews, and Sebastian Aho.

That's the complete list of rookies who've hit the 20-goal mark so far this season.

Aho reached the milestone Thursday by scoring a pair of third-period power-play markers that propelled his Carolina Hurricanes to a 4-3 win over the New York Rangers, with the 20th coming off a nice tic-tac-toe passing play.

Aho added an assist in the contest, and has now recorded 38 points through his first 64 NHL games.

What's even more impressive is that Aho had not played hockey in North America prior to 2016-17, developing his game exclusively in Finland. And what he learned over there is certainly paying off.

Of all the players selected over the past two years, only Jack Eichel, Connor McDavid, Laine and Matthews have scored more goals than Aho, who was the 35th pick in 2015.

Aho likely won't garner much in the way of Calder Trophy support, seeing as the NHL is loaded with rookie talent. Still, what's he's accomplished for the Hurricanes to date should not be overlooked.
