Jaden Schwartz propelled the Seattle Kraken to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings with a stellar hat trick performance on Saturday night. Schwartz's scoring started just 28 seconds into the game, adding another goal later in the first period before capping off his night with an empty-netter, marking his 16th goal this season. Chandler Stephenson also contributed with a pivotal go-ahead goal in the second period.
Despite efforts from Adrian Kempe and Jordan Spence, who found the net for the Kings, the Kraken's goaltender Joey Daccord made crucial saves, particularly in the final period. Seattle's defense demonstrated resilience, blocking 22 shots throughout the game. The victory marked the Kraken's tenth consecutive home win, improving their record to 20-24-3, while the Kings fell to 25-13-2.
