It’s been a tough week for the Kraken’s Kraken hockey team, as they announced that star forward Jaden Schwartz will be missing the next six weeks due to an upper-body injury.
Schwartz, who has been with the Kraken since the team’s inception in 2021, has been a key contributor to the team’s success. He has scored 20 goals and added 16 assists in just 33 games this season, making him one of the most productive players on the team.
The injury occurred during a game against the Los Angeles Kings on April 13th. Schwartz was checked into the boards and fell awkwardly, resulting in the injury. The team did not provide any further details about the exact nature of the injury, but it is believed to be a shoulder or arm issue.
The loss of Schwartz is a major blow to the Kraken, who are currently in third place in the Pacific Division. They will need to rely on other players to step up in his absence, including forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Evander Kane.
The team is hopeful that Schwartz will be able to return to the lineup before the end of the regular season. In the meantime, they will need to find a way to stay competitive without their star forward. It will be a difficult task, but one that the Kraken are confident they can handle.
