Beniers made it 1-0 4:18 in the second period before Schwartz's
goal gave Seattle a two-goal cushion.
A couple minutes after Schwartz scored, former Kraken player
Ryan Donato pulled Chicago back within one with his eighth goal
of the season, but Tanev sealed the game with an empty-net goal
at with 19 seconds left.

Chicago’s Petr Mrazek stopped 23 shots.
Kraken captain Jordan Eberle left the game and did not return
after crashing into the boards 17 seconds into the second

Takeaways
Blackhawks: Chicago’s offense, which ranks 26th in the league in
scoring, struggled to put points on the board. The Blackhawks
have scored five goals in their last four games.
Kraken: Seattle has scored 12 goals in its three-game homestand
after scoring four goals in the last four games of its recent
road trip.
Key moment
Schwartz’s 200th career goal wound up being the difference, as
it gave the Kraken the cushion they needed. Rather than tie the
game, Chicago still trailed after Donato's goal, and Seattle
kept the Blackhawks scoreless from there.
Key stat
The Kraken outshot the Blackhawks 26-19, including 20-9 in the
first two periods.
Up next
Chicago play at Vancouver Saturday night, and the Kraken host
the Islanders Saturday afternoon.
