Seattle Kraken beat Columbus 7-4 for team record 9th straight win

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jared McCann had two goals and an assist, Joey Daccord made 32 saves and the Seattle Kraken extended their win streak to nine games, rallying to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-4 on Saturday night.

Seattle Kraken 7, Columbus Blue Jackets 4: Box score

Oliver Bjorkstrand had a goal and two assists, Brian Dumoulin had a goal and an assist, and Jordan Eberle, Tye Karte and Eeli Tolvanen also scored for the Kraken, whose win streak is the longest in three-year history of the franchise. Seattle is 11-0-2 in its last 13.

The Kraken came back from one-goal deficits three times and took the lead for the first time late in the second period on Bjorkstrand’s power-play goal.

McCann and Dumoulin added to it in the third. Tolvanen had an empty-net goal with 1:05 left in the game.

Ivan Provorov had two goals on his 27th birthday, Kirill Marchenko had a goal and an assist, and Daniil Tarasov stopped 29 shots for the Blue Jackets, who have lost their last three and five of the last six.

The Blue Jackets scored 1:41 into the game with Provorov’s long-distance wrist shot through heavy traffic. Jordan Eberle tied it later in the first when he beat Tarasov on a rush.

Provorov gave Columbus the lead with his second of the game, a long shot that caromed in off the leg of Dumoulin. The Kraken tied it again late in the first with McCann’s team-leading 15th goal.

Marchenko took advantage of a 5-on-3 power play for the Blue Jackets to beat Daccord early in the second period for his team-leading 14th goal.

Emil Bemstrom cut the deficit to 6-4 with a goal late in the third, his first since since Dec. 7, but that would be it for Columbus.

NOTES: Kraken forward Andre Burkovsky left the game with a lower body injury and didn’t return. … Blue Jackets forward Adam Fantilli had an assist for his 25th point of the season, second in the NHL among rookies behind Chicago’s Connor Bedard.

WEEK AHEAD: 2026’s first West Seattle Art Walk on Thursday

As the holiday season ends, a new week begins, and one of the biggest events this week will be 2026’s first West Seattle Art Walk. The second Thursday is as early as it can get this month – on the 8th – so set your calendar for this Thursday as a special night to get out and enjoy the work of local artists. A preview with this quarter’s map/list and Thursday highlights should appear early in the week on the West Seattle Art Walk website. As usual, neighborhood organizations are supporting clusters of venues in Alki, Admiral, The Junction, and Morgan Junction; places with artist receptions usually start them at 5 pm. No Art of Music performances this month; that feature is on hiatus until later in the year.

Seattle Seahawks’ home, road opponents set for 2026 season

Patrick Mahomes and 2025 MVP candidate Drake Maye are set to make trips to Lumen Field to face the Seattle Seahawks next season.

The Seahawks’ nine home and eight road opponents are now set for the 2026 campaign. They will face what on paper will be a tough slate after securing the NFC West title this year, which means they will take on the reigning division champions from the NFC North, NFC South and AFC East in addition to their home-and-home series with their NFC rivals and matchups against each team from the NFC East and AFC West.

The numbers behind Seattle Seahawks’ defensive masterpiece vs 49ers

The full schedule with dates for games has yet to be released. The NFL typically unveils the following season’s schedule in May.

Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs and Maye’s New England Patriots coming to town are among the highlights of the Seahawks’ 2026 slate. They could also be in line for a reunion with former coach Pete Carroll, as a trip to Las Vegas to face the Raiders is on the docket. However, the Raiders are not expected to keep Carroll for a second season.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is in line to square off with one of his former mentors when Seattle hosts Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers. Harbaugh was the head coach at the University of Michigan when Macdonald was the defensive coordinator in 2021. Harbaugh is also the dad of Seahawks special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh.

Seattle has three trips to the east coast next season where they will face the reigning NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles, reigning NFC South champion Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders. The Seahawks also faced the Panthers and Commanders on the road this season.

Here’s a full look at Seattle’s 2026 home and away opponents.
