Jaden Schwartz, who missed the previous 16 games with an upper-body injury, had a goal and an assist as the Seattle Kraken defeated the host Buffalo Sabres 5-2 on Tuesday night.

Yanni Gourde, Vince Dunn, Alex Wennberg and Matty Beniers also scored and Eeli Tolvanen and Will Borgen each had two assists for Seattle, which won its seventh consecutive game and extended its franchise-record point streak to 11 games (9-0-2). Goaltender Joey Daccord made 36 saves.

Jeff Skinner and Alex Tuch each had a goal and an assist and Casey Mittelstadt added two helpers for the Sabres, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Devon Levi stopped 21 of 26 shots.

Schwartz assisted on Wennberg's backhanded goal at 2:08 of the second period on a two-on-one rush that broke a 2-2 tie. Schwartz then tipped Tanev's shot from the right point past Levi at 11:34 of the period to make it 4-2.

Beniers scored on a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle at 16:13 of the second to extend the lead to 5-2.

Skinner gave the Sabres a 1-0 lead at 4:57 of the first, beating Daccord between the pads on a wrist shot from the bottom of the right faceoff circle after taking a pass from Mittelstadt.

Gourde tied it at 13:55 after a Buffalo turnover in its own zone. Levi kicked aside Oliver Bjorkstrand's shot from the top of the left faceoff circle, but Tolvanen got the rebound and passed across the top of the crease to Gourde, who lifted the puck past the goalie.

Dunn scored a power-play goal at 18:50 to give the Kraken the lead on a wrist shot from just inside the top of the left faceoff circle. That came seconds after Daccord stopped Tuch on a breakaway.

Tuch tied it at 2-2 just 50 seconds into the second, tipping a pass from Skinner over Daccord's left shoulder.

Sabres forward Kyle Okposo (lower body) missed his third straight game.
