SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Kraken clinched the first playoff berth in franchise history and set an NHL record for victories in an expansion team’s second season by beating the Arizona Coyotes 4-2. Jared McCann, Jordan Eberle, Matty Beniers and Vince Dunn scored for the Kraken, who earned their 44th win. It’s the most by a second-year NHL team since the Original Six era, which ended in 1968. Seattle was 27-49-6 in its first season and finished last in the Pacific Division. Phillip Grubauer had 27 saves for Seattle, which won its third straight game. Barrett Hayton and Laurent Dauphin scored for Arizona, which has dropped nine in a row. Karel Vejmelka stopped 29 shots.
