It was already a noteworthy night at Climate Pledge Arena as Jared McCann - the team's leading goal scorer and first ever player signed to an extension - was set to mark his 500th NHL game. That wasn't enough for McCann or the Kraken. As the team is in hot pursuit of locking down a franchise first playoff berth, McCann scored his 36th and 37th goals of the season. Six other Seattle skaters joined the fun with a goal of their own and when the final horn sounded, the Kraken had earned an 8-1 victory over Arizona. That is the biggest margin of victory in Kraken history.
More importantly, Seattle has two more standings points in the bank.
Let's look at the game "by the numbers."
