An 8-5 victory Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center gave the Seattle Kraken the distinction of being the first team in NHL history to sweep a road trip of at least seven games.
Defeating the Blackhawks also allowed the Kraken extend their current win streak to eight games, starting with a 4-1 victory on New Year's Day against the New York Islanders at Climate Pledge Arena and continuing as the team embarked on a seven-game, 13-day trip.
The eight-game streak is also the longest winning streak in the franchise's two-year history, and is the second time this season the Kraken have won at least seven straight games.
