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.

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.

Less than a minute later, the Kraken were back in front as Oleksiak finished off a play started by the good work behind the goal by Jared McCann and Shane Wright. McCann won a puck away from Buffalo’s Owen Power along the boards, passed to Wright and the young center found Oleksiak flashing between the circles for his fourth goal.

Jaden Schwartz recorded his fifth career hat trick and the Seattle Kraken beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 for their third win in five games.

Kraken defenseman Josh Mahura lay down a booming, clean hit on Kings forward Warren Foegele at the Kraken blue line. While officials tried to keep two annoyed Kings players off Mahura, Schwartz and Beniers sneaked off on a 2-on-1. Schwartz scored his team-leading 15th goal of the season.

Schwartz had two tallies in the first period and then completed his hat trick with an empty-netter in the third. The 32-year-old winger has a total of seven hat tricks in his career, five of which have come in regular-season play.
