Bellingham, WASports

The Seattle Sounders fell to Minnesota United in their opening playoff match, losing 3-2 in penalty kicks after a scoreless draw in regulation. Despite entering with a strong 12-3-2 record against Minnesota in the regular season, the Sounders struggled in their matchups this year. The Kraken are set to host the Montreal Canadiens tonight, aiming for their third straight win after back-to-back victories over the Jets and Oilers. Coverage begins at 7:00 PM as they seek redemption against the Canadiens, who previously defeated them in overtime. Rookie fullback Robbie Ouzts, recovering from an ankle injury, is designated for a return to Seahawks practice, potentially impacting their offensive strategy.

The Seahawks will face the Washington Commanders next, who recently lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. This matchup will be crucial as the Seahawks aim to improve their standing in the league. Ouzts’ return could significantly enhance the team’s performance in the upcoming games.
