Seattle Kraken forward Jaden Schwartz dodged a massive bullet Saturday night, giving head coach Lane Lambert and the home crowd a major scare.<\/p>\n

The veteran winger took an accidental skate to the face late in the first period against the visiting Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n

It was the type of terrifying collision that immediately quiets a loud building and sends a chill down your spine.<\/p>\n

Ottawa forward Nick Cousins lost his edge and went tumbling to the ice during a routine physical engagement along the boards.<\/p>\n

As Cousins fell backward, his legs violently whipped upward into the air.<\/p>\n

The heel of his skate collided flush with the facial area of the unsuspecting Kraken forward.<\/p>\n

Schwartz immediately crumpled to the ice, prompting athletic trainers to jump over the boards without hesitation.<\/p>\n

Blood was clearly visible on the playing surface near the faceoff circle as the medical staff arrived.<\/p>\n

Every player in the league knows how fast a routine play can turn into a tragic medical emergency when steel blades get elevated.<\/p>\n

Luckily for everyone involved, Schwartz took the brunt of the impact from the hard plastic boot rather than the sharpened runner.<\/p>\n

The veteran showed his absolute toughness by getting up and leaving the ice under his own power.<\/p>\n

He headed straight down the tunnel to receive immediate medical attention and repairs from the training staff.<\/p>\n

The Kraken desperately need his leadership and grit as they navigate a heavily congested Western Conference playoff race.<\/p>\n

Seattle completely struggled to find their offensive rhythm without him, trailing the Senators 2-1 at the end of the second period.<\/p>\n

Ottawa suffocated the home side defensively, holding Seattle to just five total shots on goal through forty minutes of action.<\/p>\n

Dylan Cozens fired home his 23rd marker of the year to give the Senators the lead, capitalizing on a crisp passing sequence.<\/p>\n

Jacob Melanson managed the lone tally for the Kraken earlier in the frame to briefly tie things up.<\/p>\n

While dropping points on home ice hurts, keeping a core piece like Schwartz out of the hospital is the only thing that truly matters tonight.<\/p>\n
