The Seattle Kraken capped off their homestand with a win last night.

They beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 thanks to a pair of early goals from Jordan Eberle.

Seattle got off to a quick 3-0 lead in the first period after Eberle scored two goals and Jared McCann added a third.

The Blue Jackets stormed back in the third period to make it 3-2 with just over 4 minutes remaining.

But Brandon Tenev scored an insurance goal with under a minute left to play to secure the win.

The Kraken will head to San Jose tomorrow to play the Sharks before taking an extended 10-day break for the All-Star game.

 

More turnover on the Seahawks’ sidelines.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to hire former Seahawks defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt as their defensive line coach.

Hurtt has been with Seattle since 2017, where he started as an assistant head coach and defensive line coach before transitioning to the team’s defensive coordinator in 2022.

He’ll bring his assistant Karl Scott to Philadelphia with him to coach the Eagles’ defensive backs.
