RENTON, Wash. -- Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was full of optimism entering the bye week.There seems to be good reason for that with Seattle sitting at 3-1 and coming off consecutive impressive victories.But it was a declaration about what this Seahawks team could become that was surprising even for the always-positive head coach.Ive loved this team all along. Ive seen it coming. Just the way theyve gone about all the work, we have a chance to be something really good, Carroll said Monday. We just have to go out there and keep doing it, one day at a time, one week at a time and see where that leaves us. Thats nothing to project whats going to happen the end of the year. I dont know that. But I do know what these guys have put into it, how theyre approaching it, how determined they are, how they practice and how theyve applied themselves, its everything were looking for.The Seahawks arrived at the bye following a 27-17 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, a game that Seattle dominated more than the final score indicated. Russell Wilson threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns and if not for a fluky fourth-quarter fumble that turned into a New York touchdown, the Seahawks would have held a third opponent to 10 points or less.And now Seattle gets two weeks to get a number of its key players healthy. Wilson will continue to get rehab on his sprained left knee and sprained right ankle during the bye week, and is expected to have more of his mobility back after being limited against the Jets.The timing of the bye should also help the likes of Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Jarran Reed and Nick Vannett get healthier or be able to play when Atlanta comes to Seattle on Oct. 16.We should have a real, real strong QB playing under center when we get back a couple of weeks from now, Carroll said.Seattle was unable to get its run game started against the Jets in part because of New Yorks stout defensive line. Wilsons lack of mobility also ensured he wasnt a threat to escape the pocket as he normally does. What Wilson excelled at was throwing from the pocket into small windows, particularly finding Jimmy Graham downfield. Graham posted his second straight 100-yard game with 113 yards on six catches, showing no impact from the torn patellar tendon injury suffered last November.No Seattle player has ever had three straight 100-yard receiving games.To have consecutive 100-yard games in consecutive fashion is a great statement about his ability to accomplish all he did in his rehab, Carroll said.Defensively, the Seahawks forced three turnovers and suffocated the Jets on the ground. Matt Forte had just 27 yards on 14 carries.But that defense will be slightly short-handed for the next two months. Starting outside linebacker Mike Morgan was placed on injured reserve Monday and will undergo surgery on Tuesday in Philadelphia for a sports hernia. Morgan played Sunday but remained on the East Coast to have the injury taken care of. He could return later in the season. The recovery should take only five or six weeks.Seattle added Jordan Tripp from the practice squad to the 53-man roster to take Morgans spot, and Cassius Marsh and Kevin Pierre-Louis will likely get the majority of the snaps. But Morgan was not playing significant snaps on defense as the Seahawks have often gone with five defensive backs during the first four weeks.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL Authentic Custom Giants Jersey .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Coyotes have a simple but daunting task ahead of them on Thursday when they host the Winnipeg Jets at Gila River Arena.The task is topping rookie Patrik Laine.Laine, who was the second overall pick in the 2016 NHL draft, leads the league with 11 goals. The 18-year-old Finn is coming off his second career hat trick on Tuesday as the Jets demolished the Dallas Stars 8-2.It was unbelievable to score three goals again, said Laine, who also scored three goals on Oct. 19. Im proud of myself and Im proud of our team. We played a really good game. Scoring eight goals, that doesnt happen every day. It was a special win.Laine also added an assist in the victory over the Stars. If the Coyotes do stop Laine, they still have to contend with Mark Scheifele, who is tied for second in the NHL with eight goals and tops the league with 18 points after his two-goal, two-assist performance against the Stars.But it is Laine, however, who is getting the lions share of the headlines.Each game hes gotten better and better, and now you see him finishing his checks, too, Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. What you saw in his first few games is that he doesnt want to make any mistakes, he doesnt want to get caught, he doesnt want to be a reason for an odd-man rush.What youre seeing now is, hes just learning the game now. Coming over when youre 18 years old, theres a lot to process, and Mark has been really good in the middle for him. You can feel it in the crowd. When he gets the puck from anywhere, you can feel it, the anticipation of the shot. Everybody on our bbench has that same feeling.ddddddddddddDefenseman Tyler Myers notched two asissts versus Dallas in his return to the Jets after missing five games with a lower-body injury.The Coyotes picked up a 4-2 victory Tuesday at the Colorado Avalanche. The Coyotes have won three of four and are 4-2 since enduring a five-game losing streak.Defenseman Anthony DeAngelo scored a second-period goal in his NHL debut Tuesday with Max Domi credited with an assist.(Domi) wrapped it around (the goal) and they kind of collapsed, and I just tried to stay in the slot area, DeAngelo said on the Coyotes official website. It was a great pass and I just tried to put it on net.He is the 10th player in Coyotes history to score a goal in his NHL debut.It was an awesome experience, DeAngelo said. I settled down as the game went on. The first couple of shifts I was nervous, but its just hockey once you get into it. I felt really good and the guys made me feel really comfortable.DeAngelo was recalled Monday from the American Hockey League after defenseman Michael Stone was placed on the injured-reserve list with an upper-body injury.The Coyotes rebounded from a 5-1 loss Friday at Anaheim to beat the Avalanche.We took a step forward, Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett said on the teams website. The guys worked very hard. Thats probably the closest thing to a complete game weve played all year. We got good contributions right throughout our lineup and ended up in a good win. ' ' '
