Overview
- The team announced Monday that the 33-year-old forward is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury sustained Saturday against Ottawa.
- Video shows Nick Cousins’ skate rising after a collision initiated by Eeli Tolvanen and striking Schwartz in the face; he bled but exited under his own power.
- No immediate roster move followed the update, and Seattle could pursue an emergency recall for Tuesday’s game against the Predators if depth remains short.
- Recent trade acquisition Bobby McMann practiced and skated on a line with Chandler Stephenson and Tolvanen, though he still awaits work-visa clearance to play.
- The Kraken hold the second Western Conference wild-card spot by one point; Schwartz has 10 goals and 21 points in 42 games after missing roughly six weeks earlier with a lower-body injury.
