The Kraken are out East tonight as they look to snap their losing streak.

Seattle is facing the Carolina Hurricanes in the first of a four-game road trip.

The Kraken’s defense has struggled recently, giving up 17 goals across their current three-game losing streak. 

Tonight will be a tough challenge against a Hurricanes offense that scores the second-most goals per game in the NHL.

Seattle will try to improve on their last meeting with Carolina, which ended in a 4-1 loss.

They’ll also look to rebound from a rough patch on the road that’s seen them lose six of their last seven.

Coverage begins at 3:30 and puck drops at 4:00 on KPUG.

 

A legendary Seahawks coach could be on his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Mike Holmgren was chosen as the coaching finalist for the HOF’s Class of 2025 today.

He led the Seahawks to six postseason appearances from 1999 to 2008 and brought them to Super Bowl XL, where they lost to the Steelers.

Before that, he took the Green Bay Packers to a pair of Super Bowls and won one in 1997.

Holmgren was one of five finalists announced today who will be voted on early next year.

He needs 80% of votes to be inducted, though only a maximum of three finalists will make it.
