CHICAGO — As the NHL’s newest team, the Kraken are used to making history by just existing. On Saturday night, they graduated.
The Kraken became the first team in the NHL’s 105 seasons of play to sweep a road trip of seven or more games, going 6 for 6 on a swing through Canada and the Northeast before handling the Chicago Blackhawks, 8-5, on Saturday night.
In absolute fairness, alternate captain Jordan Eberle pointed out, it was a weirdly long stretch away from Climate Pledge Arena.
