Northwest Sports Update Cal receives high honor from peers, key Seahawks status in jeopardy, Lynden volleyballs perfect season and more

The Seattle Kraken lost 4-3 to the Montreal Canadiens in overtime, with Brandon Montour's late-game efforts falling just short. This defeat represents Seattle's second overtime loss against Montreal this season. Meanwhile, Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh was honored as the Player of the Year by the MLB Players Association, becoming the first player from the Mariners to achieve this recognition since the award's establishment in 1998. Raleigh's recognition adds to the excitement surrounding the upcoming American League MVP award announcement, scheduled for November 13. In NFL news, Seahawks safety Julian Love's participation in the upcoming game against the Commanders is uncertain due to a setback from his hamstring injury.

Head coach Mike Macdonald indicated that Love might be placed on injured reserve, potentially sidelining him for four games. The Seahawks have already dealt with significant injuries this season, including the absence of All-Pro cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Fans are closely monitoring the status of both the Kraken and Seahawks as the sports calendar heats up.
