Ex-Wolverine Matty Beniers wins Calder Trophy as NHL's top rookie

Former Michigan Wolverines center Matty Beniers was part of NHL history on Monday.

Beniers, the first NHL Awards finalist in Seattle Kraken history, became the first rookie from an expansion franchise to win the Calder Trophy within the first two seasons since Peter Stastny captured the award in 1980-81, the Quebec Nordiques' second campaign.
