Schwartz also had a goal wiped off the board due to an offside call on review, but he now has five points in Seattle's last two games.
Stephenson and Vince Dunn went to the box for Seattle, while Mikhail Sergechev and Cooley went off for Utah.But the Kraken wouldn't leave the period empty-handed.Yanni Gourde was perfectly in place to finish a rebound of a Ryker Evans shot into a mostly open net behind Vejmelka to tie the game at 1-1 with 1:54 left in the period. Less than a minute later, André Burakovsky redirected a lobbed shot from Schwartz through the legs of Vejmelka for another goal and a 2-1 Kraken lead.
