The Kraken are back tonight as they look to recover from an early-season rough patch.

Seattle is hosting the Columbus Blue Jackets for the second match of a six-game homestand.

It comes after the Kraken snapped a four-game losing streak in an overtime victory against the Golden Knights on Friday.

Before that, they had lost seven of their last eight matches.

Columbus is riding a lengthy losing streak themselves, having lost their last five matches.

Coverage begins at 6:30 and puck drops at 7 on KPUG.

 

A former Seahawk coach didn’t last too long with his new team.

Shane Waldron was fired as the Chicago Bears’ offensive coordinator today, less than 10 months after being hired for the job.

Chicago enjoyed a strong 4-2 start to the season before losing its last three games.

Waldron has come under criticism for a hapless Bears offense that’s scored just 12 total points over the past two weeks amid high expectations with #1 overall pick Caleb Willliams.

Waldron spent three seasons as OC with the Seahawks before the team hired Ryan Grubb as his replacement over the offseason.

 

Washington State’s men’s basketball team picked up a dominant win last night.

The Cougs handled Idaho 90-67 to improve to 3-0 on the season.

Junior guard Nate Calmese led them with 19 points and three steals.

Next up, Wazzu will travel to the Midwest for a date with the Iowa Hawkeyes this Friday night.

 

Western Washington University’s cross country teams are heading to nationals.

Both the men’s and women’s teams earned 2nd-place finishes at the West Regional meet on Saturday to qualify for the National Championships.

Senior Ryan Clough placed 2nd in the men’s 10k and junior Ashley Reeck came in at 12th in the women’s 6k to lead the Viks.

This marks the fourth time in the past six seasons that both teams will advance to the national meet, which is made up of 34 teams.

It will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23, in Sacramento.

 

And a Bellingham runner has made history.

Courtney Olsen set a women’s 50-mile world record of 5 hours, 31 minutes and 56 seconds at the Tunnel Hill 50 Mile in Vienna, IL on Saturday.

She beat the previous record by nearly 8 and a half minutes, which had stood for 33 years.

Olsen is also set to compete with Team USA in December.

The 37-year-old’s record-breaking performance boils down to an average pace of 6 minutes and 39 seconds per mile.
