ST. LOUIS (AP) – Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes to Golden Tate, and the Seattle Seahawks made a dramatic goal-line stand in the final minute to beat the St. Louis Rams 14-9 last night. The Seahawks were forced to punt with just over 5 minutes left in the game, but they managed to pin St. Louis at its own 3-yard line. The Seahawks won despite gaining just 135 yards of total offense, 80 of it on Wilson’s second TD pass to Tate.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Daniel Sedin scored the game-winner in the third period and added an assist as the Vancouver Canucks beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 last night. Zack Kassian and Ryan Kesler also scored for Vancouver. Roberto Luongo made 17 saves as the Canucks won their fourth straight. Jason Chimera, with a goal and an assist, and Mikhail Grabovski scored for Washington, which got 38 saves from Michal Neuvirth.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice left last night’s game against the St. Louis Rams with a knee injury and was doubtful to return.
