SEATTLE — Jaden Schwartz had a hat trick, Joey Daccord made 17 of his 28 saves in the third period and the Seattle Kraken beat the Kings 4-2 on Saturday night.
Schwartz opened the scoring 28 seconds into the game and broke a 1-1 tie at 7:40. He completed the hat trick with an empty-netter in the third, his 16th goal of the season.
Chandler Stephenson scored the go-ahead goal for Seattle (20-24-3) at 1:37 of the second. The Kraken blocked 22 shots.

Adrian Kempe and Jordan Spence scored for the Kings (25-13-2), who went 2-3 on a five-game trip. Darcy Kuemper made 18 saves.
Warren Foegele intercepted a pass on a Seattle power play in third and broke down the left side untouched. Daccord read Foegele’s move and stopped the attempt to preserve the one-goal cushion.
Up next: Both teams are in action Monday. The Kings host Pittsburgh, and Seattle hosts Buffalo.
