Seattle Kraken Defeat Chicago Blackhawks 3-1

The Seattle Kraken extended their winning streak to three games with a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, highlighted by Jaden Schwartz's milestone 200th career goal early in the third period. Matty Beniers opened the scoring for the Kraken in the second period, followed by Schwartz's power-play goal, which provided a crucial cushion. Despite a brief response from the Blackhawks through Ryan Donato, who scored his eighth goal of the season, Brandon Tanev sealed the game with an empty-netter. The Kraken outshot the Blackhawks 26-19, dominating possession early on, especially in the first two periods. However, the game was marred by the injury of Kraken captain Jordan Eberle, who left after a collision just 17 seconds into the second period. The Blackhawks continue to struggle offensively, having scored only five goals in their last four games, as they prepare for their next matchup against the Vancouver Canucks.
