The Kraken are back tonight in the second of their four-game road trip out East.

They’re taking on the New York Islanders 

Seattle’s coming off a 4-2 win over Carolina on Tuesday that snapped their three-game losing streak.

Meanwhile, the Islanders have struggled after losing seven of their last nine.

Coverage for tonight’s match starts at 4:00 and puck drops at 4:30 on KPUG.

 

A key defensive player could be returning for the Seahawks ahead of a big divisional matchup against the Cardinals this weekend.

Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu was a full participant in practice yesterday.

He’ll have a chance to come off the injured reserve to play against Arizona on Sunday after missing the past two months with a thigh injury.

It came just as he was selected as the Seahawks’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award for the second time in his career.

Meanwhile, Seattle kicker Jason Myers was seen practicing some punting in practice as the Hawks deal with an injury to their starting punter Michael Dickson.

 

An All-Star guard for the Storm could be on her way out of Seattle.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported last night that Jewell Loyd has requested a trade from the Seattle Storm.

It comes after the Storm announced that an investigation into reports of harassment and bullying by the team’s coaching staff had concluded without finding any violations.

Sources tell ESPN that it was Loyd who filed the complaint, but none of the specific allegations have been revealed yet.

Loyd is a 6x All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist.

She led the league in scoring two seasons ago and just signed a two-year extension with Seattle in September 2023.

 

Major League Baseball’s commissioner is suggesting we could see a massive change to the game.

Robert Manfred recently told “The Varsity” podcast that the idea of implementing the “Golden At-Bat” is gaining steam among owners.

The Golden At-Bat would allow teams to pinch-hit any hitter at any time of the game.

Each team can only use the Golden Batter once per game.

Manfred went on to say that the rule is in the conversation-only stage at this point.
