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.

Jaden Schwartz nets his fifth-career hat trick and first as a member of the Kraken as Seattle returns home from a five-game road trip and beats the Kings 4-2 on Saturday night.

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.

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.

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.

Jamie Oleksiak scored a goal and recorded the 100th assist of his NHL career, and Adam Larsson scored the game-winning goal in the third period as the Seattle Kraken beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-4 on Monday afternoon.

SEATTLE – It’s time to say the scariest word in sports.
