The SeattleKraken make history as they beat the Avalanche in Game 7, ending the defending champs' season 🔗
DENVER — Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice, Philipp Grubauer was stellar in stopping 33 shots and the Seattle Kraken eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche with a 2-1 win in Game 7 on Sunday night.
Going back in 100+ year history of the NHL, only other expansion team beat a defending champion, ever, in their first playoff run: the Maroons of 1926 over the Victoria Cougars.— Mike Benton May 1, 2023 Bjorkstrand scored one goal on a fortuitous deflection — the puck hit off a stick and glove — and another with a liner past goaltender Alexandar Georgiev that clanged off the post. Seattle grabbed the lead in every game in the series.
