After a stunning first period, the Seattle Kraken won 8-5 at home to the Chicago Blackhawks on the last day of play for the North American professional hockey league, the NHL. The team, which is only spending its second season in the league, also achieved a record in the history of the sport.
The match could be memorable because the Kraken scored six goals in twenty first half minutes. No way: Six of their first seven shots were scored. In addition, five of those six goals were scored in less than four minutes by the Seattle team.
For the Kraken, this victory also meant that they were able to finish their seven-match away tour with a 100% record. No NHL team has ever been able to do this, so the Seattleites set a record in the history of sports.
Despite their great run — they’ve won eight of their last 10 games, which puts them as the team in top form — Seattle is currently only eighth in the NHL, mainly due to their poor home performance: while away from home, the Kraken team is second best. team, on home ice, they only have a top 20 pointer in the field of 32 teams. They’re also only fourth in the Western Conference with 56 points, but they’re only two behind the Golden Night Kings of Las Vegas, first in the West—and in terms of points lost, they’re the best in the West.
The best of the 8-5 game in Chicago was 26-year-old Canadian Jared McCann, who scored his first career hat-trick in his 466th NHL game (playing in the league since 2015, since last year in Seattle, where he now hits to 50 goals – in the previous week he scored 66 goals in the season.
