Seattle Kraken veteran forward Jaden Schwartz is having one of the best offensive seasons of his career as he enters the later stages of his career.

Somewhat lost in Jaden Schwartz’s hat trick and a 4-2 win for the Kraken over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night was what happened in the third period.

Bjorkstrand deposited a power-play marker on five shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Detroit.

Schwartz put Seattle ahead 2-1 at 7:40, finishing off a 4-on-2 rush by scoring on a wrist shot from the right circle. Josh Mahura started the break by creating a turnover when he checked Warren Foegele in the defensive zone.

The Seattle Kraken are closer to last place in the NHL than they are to a playoff spot and should be amongst the biggest sellers at this year's trade deadline.

Jaden Schwartz netted a hat trick and goaltender Joey Daccord staved off a furious third-period push as the Seattle Kraken opened a long home stretch with a 4-2 victory against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.

Kaapo Kakko scored twice in the third period, Joey Daccord made 33 saves and the Seattle Kraken overcame an early two-goal deficit to beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-2 on Saturday.

Schwartz scored the fifth hat trick of his career tonight and his first since Mar. 19, 2019. This was his fifth multi-goal game with Seattle, tying Oliver Bjorkstrand (5) for the third most in franchise history behind Jared McCann (10) and Jordan Eberle (7).

When captain Jordan Eberle eventually returns from the injured list, the Seattle Kraken might need to find another spot for him in the lineup. Because it appears their top line is set with Jaden Schwartz,

Seattle has a 7-1 record all-time against the Sabres and has outscored them, 40-24. And remember, this is a fourth-year franchise that has only made the playoffs once and isn't likely to get there this year either.

The Kraken look to maintain their dominance over Buffalo, and aim to build momentum for the second half of the season. Puck drop for Monday's game is 1PM PST.
