SEATTLE — \u2014 Sacha Boisvert<\/a> scored his first NHL goal with 5:42 to play to give Chicago a two-goal lead and Tyler Bertuzzi<\/a> scored his team-leading 32nd goal as the Blackhawks beat the Seattle Kraken<\/a> 4-2 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Teuvo Teravainen<\/a> and Ilya Mikheyev<\/a> also scored for the Blackhawks, who snapped a five-game losing streak and have already been eliminated from playoff contention.<\/p>\n

Arvid Soderblom<\/a> made 25 saves for the Blackhawks and Connor Bedard<\/a> had two assists, lifting his team-leading total to 41 and pushing his career point total to 199.<\/p>\n

Jaden Schwartz<\/a> and Kaapo Kakko<\/a> scored for the Kraken, who are still in the hunt for the playoffs with 75 points, six points out of the West\u2019s second wild-card spot. Seattle, which has lost four straight and is just 5-12-2 since the Olympic break, has seven games left.<\/p>\n

With the Blackhawks up 2-1, Boisvert streaked down the slot on an odd-man rush and took a pass from Kevin Korchinski<\/a> before shooting a one-timer past Kraken goalie Philipp Grubauer<\/a>, who had 27 saves.<\/p>\n

Teravainen put the Blackhawks on the board with a power-play goal at 9:15 of the second period, taking Bedard\u2019s pass and poking a shot inside the left post that trickled in off Grubauer\u2019s skate.<\/p>\n

Bertuzzi made it 2-0 with 22.2 seconds left in the second, tucking the rebound of a shot by Andre Burakovsky<\/a>. Mikheyev scored into an empty net with 1:12 remaining.<\/p>\n

Schwartz\u2019s 11th of the year cut Chicago\u2019s lead to 2-1 with 9:12 remaining. Kakko\u2019s goal with 5:42 left made it 3-2.<\/p>\n
