Jared McCann had his first career hat trick and the Kraken beat the Blackhawks 8-5 for their franchise-record eighth straight victory. MORE:
All-star rookie Matty Beniers and Oliver Bjorkstrand each had a goal and an assist and the Kraken won their seventh straight on the road to become the first NHL team to sweep a trip of seven or more games.
“It's a great accomplishment for the players to be able to do that,” Hakstol said. “It shows the consistency and work they've put in from the start of this road trip.” The game was tied 1-all midway in the first when the Kraken surged ahead with five goals on six shots against last-place Chicago. The Kraken started their eight-game run with a home win over the New York Islanders on New Year’s Day, then topped Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Buffalo and Boston before capping the trip with the drubbing of Chicago.
