Avalanche Find Their Mojo, Bounce Back In Seattle
It took a while, but on Monday night, the Colorado Avalanche got back a little bit of their mojo.
And once they did, the Seattle Kraken never stood a chance.
Halfway through the game, the Avalanche found their game, scoring five unanswered goals on their way to a massive 5-1 victory over the Kraken. In the third period, Seattle registered just one shot on net, and had no answer for the Avalanche once they started playing up to their capabilities.
Mikko Rantanen, Ross Colton, Cale Makar, Jonathan Drouin, and Valeri Nichushkin scored the goals for Colorado, while Alexandar Georgiev stopped 18 of the 19 shots sent his way.
First Period
Here we go again, right?
Nine straight games the Kraken had scored first on the Avalanche.
Make it 10, but not without some fisticuffs first.
Kurtis MacDermid, who barely played on the evening, stepped onto the ice and went toe-to-toe with Jamie Oleksiak, who was involved in the incident with Artturi Lehkonen earlier this week. I don’t think Oleksiak meant to do anything on purpose, but MacDermid did his job, and found one of the few guys in the NHL who is actually bigger than him. Oleksiak isn’t much of a fighter, and MacDermid definitely got the best of him in this one.
That should have picked Colorado up, right?
Not so fast.
Not even 40 seconds later, the Kraken got on the board first, as Brandon Tanev picked up a rebound for his first goal of the season. A mistake by Tanev proved costly for the Kraken just a few minutes later.
On their first powerplay of the game, the Avalanche gave up an odd-man rush almost immediately, as Makar flubbed a pass at the point. Alex Wennberg had multiple shots, as the Colorado skaters just let him whack away at the puck before he finally lifted it over a sprawling Georgiev, making it 2-0 Seattle.
But hold up. Jared Bednar challenged the goal, as Tanev collided with Georgiev before the puck went into the net. He would win the challenge, as the refs ruled it to be goaltender interference, nullifying the goal. A huge moment in the game, and one that came back to bite Seattle.
Colorado didn’t generate much the rest of the period, and went into the intermission down a goal.
Second Period
It finally happened. It took nearly 11 periods, but Colorado finally found the back of the net on the road.
And to the surprise of no one, it came off the stick of Mikko Rantanen.
With just under eight minutes left in the second, a Devon Toews shot proved to be difficult for Joey Daccord to handle. MacKinnon got the first hack at the rebound, and Rantanen was there to clean up the mess, putting it into an empty net and tying the game up.
At that point, the Kraken had 17 shots on net. The rest of the game, they registered just two additional shots.
Just two minutes later, Ross Colton added a goal you would expect to see from Colton, battling right in front of the net for a rebound. After winning a face-off on the powerplay, a Toews shot bounced off Tomas Tatar in front, and landed right in front of Daccord. Colton cleaned it up, giving Colorado the 2-1 lead.
These two plays sparked Colorado to a 22-2 run on shots on net, and they never looked back.
Third Period
When Colorado has had a lead in the third, they’ve been difficult to beat, and in the third, they looked like the Avalanche we’ve come to expect these last few years. Controlling the puck, pushing the play, and proving that the best defense is spending time in the opposing team’s zone.
Makar, who is still being booed by Kraken fans, scored the goal that really ended the Kraken’s night. The Avalanche worked the puck around from one side of the ice to the other before Makar sent it down low to Tomas Tatar. The veteran drew a few Kraken players to him, and sent it back to a wide open Makar, who labeled a perfect shot into the back of the net, making it 3-1.
Five minutes later, Jonathan Drouin got the monkey off his back. Fittingly, Nathan MacKinnon played a big role in that.
A nice stretch pass by Sam Malinski, playing his first NHL game, found Rantanen in the neutral zone. The big Finn sent a perfect one-touch pass to a streaking MacKinnon, creating a 2-on-1. MacKinnon sent it over to his buddy Drouin, who beat Daccord under his arm, extending the lead to three.
Nichushkin added a late powerplay goal, and Colorado walked out of Seattle with a much needed 5-1 victory. In the process, they held the Kraken to just one shot on goal in the third period.
With the victory, Jared Bednar became the 53rd career coach in NHL history to win 300 regular season games. He’ll continue climbing up that list over the next few seasons.
Colorado now heads home for one game, as they’ll take on the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday night at Ball Arena. That game starts at 7 PM MST.

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks Prediction: Odds, Best Bets, Player News, Injuries, and Stats
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks Preview
The Arizona Cardinals are 6-4, and Jonathan Gannon should be the favorite for coach of the year. After a tough start to the season, the Cardinals have ripped off five straight wins. Their win over the Chargers is the most impressive of them all.
The Cardinals have been a good mix of solid passing performances and a well-balanced rushing attack, led by quarterback Kyler Murray.
They head to Seattle this week to take on Geno Smith and the 5-5 Seahawks.
It’s been an up-and-down season for the Seahawks, and they are on a bit of a bad run, losing three of their last five games.
Luckily, with the return of DK Metcalf, they should be a bit stronger on the offensive side of the ball.
The Seahawks have missed Metcalf’s production and ability to stretch the field and take the top off the defense.
The Cardinals are the only team without a conference loss, so they should enter this game as betting favorites and with a great deal of confidence.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is eyeing Seattle +1
Thomas: “This game is blah… If there were a skip button, it would be this one for me. Not that it won’t be a compelling game; I am just struggling to find a reason bet to take. Gun to my head, I would take Seahawks +1 at -105. With Metcalf returning, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb has his full arsenal of talented weapons at his disposal.”

Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle
Hannah Corbin
Fairmont Olympic Hotel, one of Seattle’s most renowned luxury hotels, is full of festive spirit thanks to a partnership with the Seattle Festival of Trees Guild and Seattle’s Children Hospital.
Displaying over 20 uniquely decorated Christmas trees, each one tells the story of a patient from Seattle Children’s Hospital. Guests and visitors can marvel at the beautiful designs, which range from classic to whimsical, with the trees on display throughout the lobby and mezzanine levels of the hotel.
The trees are available for purchase, starting from $4,200, and vary in size and width—most trees are between 7-foot and 8-foot in height. On display now until Dec. 2, proceeds from every sale will benefit Seattle Children’s Hospital Uncompensated Care and Autism Center.
“We are deeply honored to have shared a cherished partnership with the Seattle Festival of Trees Guild and Seattle Children’s Hospital for decades. At the heart of Fairmont is our commitment to turning moments into special memories, and this beloved holiday tradition transforms our hotel into a festive haven,” said Sunny Joseph, General Manager of Fairmont Olympic Hotel. “It warmly welcomes longtime Fairmont guests, members of the local community, visitors from near and far, and our colleagues, who eagerly anticipate this event each year.”

The Seattle Festival of Trees program has been a key part of Washington’s festive season for 47 years, working with around a dozen designers to create eye-catching themed Christmas trees to celebrate the magic of Christmas in style.
“Many of us have family members who’ve been treated or cared for at Seattle Children’s so this is definitely a labor of love,” explained Daphne Darst, Chair, Designer and Member of Seattle Festival of Trees Guild. “Hospital patients are paired with each tree and we designers are always interested in reading about the child’s health struggles and inspired to do whatever we can to impact and support the hospital’s work.”
To officially kick off the 2024 Seattle Festival of Trees season, the hotel is hosting a gala on Nov. 23, an evening that includes wine, passed hor d’ oeuvres, silent and live auctions, a raffle, gourmet dinner and more.
Trees are on display until Dec. 2.

In addition to the Festival of Trees, the hotel hosts an annual Teddy Bear Suite starting Thanksgiving day. The suite, which has been a part of Fairmont Olympic tradition for almost 25 years, is free to enter and features 100 teddy bears and plenty of cozy features to enchant kids and adults alike.

On Thursday night, it was announced that Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh had finished 12th in the American League MVP voting. This concluded an unbelievable award season for the M’s catcher. In addition to finishing 12th in the MVP voting, Raleigh was a finalist for the American League Silver Slugger. He also won both the Gold Glove at catcher and the Platinum Glove in the American League.
However, the MVP news wasn’t the biggest piece of Raleigh-related news on Thursday. According to Kiley McDaniel of ESPN, Raleigh dropped agent Scott Boras in favor Excel Sports Management.

Now, we don’t officially know the reason for the change, but some Mariners fans online took it to mean that the M’s have a greater chance of signing Raleigh to an extension now.
Take @MarinerMuse for example:
Fine, I’ll say it out loud:
This is the move you make if you want to sign an extension and you have the free agency manipulation agent.

— Mariner Muse (@MarinerMuse) November 21, 2024
Raleigh is headed into arbitration this season and is under contract through the 2027 regardless. The M’s certainly would want to lock Raleigh up long-term as he’s one of the best catchers in all of baseball, but it only gets harder to do as he gets closer to free agency.
Furthermore, he’s 27 years old now, making an extension that takes him to 32-33 more desirable than giving him a long-term deal in the future. He’ll be 30 when his rookie deal ends and any extension would likely take him deep into his mid-30s.
Raleigh hit 34 homers this year to lead all catchers. He drove in 100 runs also, in addition to his defensive prowess.
