Jaden Schwartz nets two goals, Kraken fend off Flyers

Jaden Schwartz scored two goals to lift the Seattle Kraken past the host Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 on Sunday.

Jordan Eberle had one goal and one assist and Eeli Tolvanen added a goal for the Kraken, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Alex Wennberg contributed two assists. Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer made 15 saves.

Owen Tippett had one goal and one assist for the Flyers, who have dropped two straight. James van Riemsdyk and Patrick Brown each added one goal.

Tippett and van Riemsdyk each had shots blocked in the final 10 seconds.

Flyers goaltender Felix Sandstrom stopped 17 shots.

Schwartz’s second goal, at 1:03 of the third period, gave the Kraken a 4-2 lead. His shot landed just under the crossbar and over the line.

Philadelphia’s Tony DeAngelo skated in and ripped a backhand on goal at 6:57, but Grubauer cut off the angle.

Seattle tightened defensively from there and allowed few scoring chances.

After Travis Konecny was whistled for delay of game at 16:10, Brown scored short-handed to close the Flyers within 4-3.

Sandstrom was then pulled for an extra at 18:25 and the Flyers had numerous solid scoring chances, but they couldn’t convert.

Philadelphia tied the game at 2-2 when van Riemsdyk redirected a shot from the point by Tippett at 3:33 of the second period.

Schwartz snapped a shot just high over the net at 9:59.

Schwartz then put the Kraken ahead 3-2 at 18:59 with a clean shot from the slot.

The Flyers had only 10 shots on goal through two periods.

The Flyers went ahead 1-0 at 2:11 of the first period when Tippett connected on the power play.

The Kraken equalized at 12:53 when Eberle capitalized on a Flyers turnover and recorded his 11th goal of the season.

Seattle stayed aggressive and took a 2-1 advantage at 17:01 when Tolvanen ripped a shot over Sandstrom’s glove and just inside the post.
