The Seattle Kraken snapped their 4-game skid last night.

They beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2 in one of the Kraken’s best offensive displays of the season.

Jared McCann and Jaden Schwartz each opened the game with a goal to give Seattle an early 2-0 lead.

Tomas Tatar ended the game with a pair of insurance goals to seal the game.

Joey Daccord made 34 saves in the win.

It was Chicago’s 18th-straight road loss.

That’s tied for the fourth-longest single-season streak in NHL history.

It also featured a matchup between two of the top players in the state, with Lynden’s Anthony Canales putting up 31 points and Anacortes’ Davis Fogle scoring 35.

The Lynden girls had a lot less trouble with Anacortes, they blew out the Seahawks 69-7.
