Kraken's 3-goal third period rally sinks Blackhawks
Nov 20, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour (62) defends against Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard (98) during the first period at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Jaden Schwartz scored the go-ahead goal on a third-period power play and Brandon Montour tallied two assists to boost the visiting Seattle Kraken to a 3-2 comeback victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.
Tye Kartye and Shane Wright also scored for Seattle, which tallied three unanswered goals in the final period.
Schwartz converted the game-winner in front of the net at 17:42. Two seconds remained on a man advantage that stemmed from a controversial unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Chicago's Connor Bedard.
Skating in on a breakaway, Bedard was unable to manage a shot against Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord but pleaded to an official that he had been hooked by Seattle's Ryan Lindgren.
Seattle outshot Chicago 27-24, including 12-3 in the third. Daccord had 22 saves compared to 24 for the Blackhawks' Spencer Knight.
Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen both registered a goal and an assist for Chicago.
The Blackhawks scored on their first shot of the second period on a Bertuzzi wrister 43 seconds into the frame. Bertuzzi streaked through the slot and finished a 3-on-1 rush with Teravainen and Frank Nazar drawing assists.
Bertuzzi, who missed the past two games due to injury, returned the favor at 10:07 of the second. Racing toward the lower right circle to get the puck off the end boards, he backhanded a one-handed pass across the ice to a waiting Teravainen, who beat Daccord with a snap shot in front.
Bertuzzi has 10 points -- including seven goals -- in his past five contests.
Seattle tied the game with a pair of third-period goals 2:04 apart, as separate point shots caromed through traffic and got past Knight.
Kartye was credited with the Kraken's first goal, at 5:09 of the third, off a Montour blast that was redirected. Seattle forward Oscar Fisker Molgaard, skating in his first NHL game, tallied the primary assist.
Shane Wright deflected a Ryker Evans shot to even the score at 2-all at 7:13.
Kraken defenseman Jamie Oleksiak played in his 700th career game.
Chicago's Andre Burakovsky left the game late in the first period after sustaining a hit from Lindgren and did not return. Burakovsky was skating with his head down and trying to regain the puck when Lindgren delivered a shoulder-first check.
