Tonight a scary moment has occurred in the Seattle Kraken and Ottawa Senators game as Kraken forward Jaden Schwartz has been struck in the face by a skate.
Tonight, the Seattle Kraken hosted the Ottawa Senators with both teams looking to stay in the playoff race in their respective conferences.
The game started off with an intense battle each team getting on the board early setting up for a great 60 minutes of action in Seattle.

Just before the first intermission a puck battle ensued by the Kraken bench in which Seattle forward Eeli Tolvanen laid a big hit on Senators forward Nick Cousins.
As Cousins fell to the ice, his skates came flying up into the air and made contact with Jaden Schwartz's face.
Schwartz immediately went down to the ice and was attended to quickly by the training staff.
According to reports from those in the arena, Schwartz was cut on his face but was alert and able to leave the ice under his own power.
It seems that all things considered Schwartz has come out of this incident okay being able to head to the locker room on his own despite the cut and massive scare of the initial contact.
After the game, all eyes will be on Kraken head coach Lane Lambert on Schwartz's condition and health after such a terrible incident.
