Jaden Schwartz scored twice as the Seattle Kraken snapped the Jets’ five-game win streak in a 3-0 victory on Thursday night at Canada Life Centre.

The winning goal came early in the second period when Schwartz managed to beat Alex Iafallo to the back post before burying a rebound behind Connor Hellebuyck at 2:28. The goal was Schwartz’s third of the season.
The goal was set up when Shane Wright’s shot from the left corner ricocheted off the body of Hellebuyck, the puck bouncing to Schwartz who was skating unmarked towards the right post, with Iafallo a step behind.
“I liked a lot of what happened in the first, I liked a lot of what happened in the third,” head coach Scott Arniel said. “The second was loose. We didn’t get any zone time. We got cute, kind of trying to stickhandle our way through the neutral zone.”

Prior to the Schwartz goal, the Jets nearly assumed a 1-0 lead late in the first period when Josh Morrissey’s shot from the right point hit traffic in front and pinged off the crossbar at 19:55. Gabe Vilardi had a chance to knock the bouncing puck into the empty net, but he whiffed on the rebound.
“We didn’t have a ton of Grade A chances, a few, like I said, we didn’t get a lot of bounces,” Neal Pionk. said. “Morrissey’s shot in the first, I thought, went in, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.” Pionk was credited with five shots on net.
The Jets pulled Hellebuyck for the extra attacker with less than two minutes remaining in the third period, but the visitors scored an empty-net goal at 18:20 when Schwartz intercepted a Morrissey pass intended for Kyle Connor at the Jets blue line before racing in alone for the empty-netter.

Jordan Eberle then scored a second empty-net goal at 18:43, to further pad the advantage.
“(Seattle) is a good defensive team and their goaltender stood tall,” Arniel said. “They kept us to the outside, their five guys were packing it in pretty tight. It was going to take a greasy one, a deflection or a rebound and like I said, their goaltender was real good and they played a pretty stingy game.”
The Jets outshot Seattle 13-8 in the third but couldn’t solve Seattle netminder Joey Daccord. The Kraken netminder stopped 32 shots in the win for his first shutout of the season. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Kraken.
“We had a great push in the third,” Kyle Connor said. ‘Tip your cap sometimes to the other team with the way they play and their goalie. It was not for a lack of chances, obviously if we push them like that and control a lot of the zone time like that we are going to score a lot more times than that.”
