With the 2017 regular season winding down, here’s a look at a few records that are attainable for the Sounders to reach by season’s end:
MLS RECORD
CONSECUTIVE POSTSEASON APPEARANCES (ACTIVE)
Record: 8 (LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders)
Bottom Line: The Rave Green have nearly sealed their postseason fate for the ninth consecutive season, while LA Galaxy’s streak of eight consecutive appearances will officially end. Seattle is now one year shy of tying the all-time MLS record of 10 straight years (LA Galaxy, 1996-2005).
LONGEST SHUTOUT STREAK (2017)
Record: 393 minutes (Stefan Frei)
Bottom Line: When Stefan Frei went nearly 400 minutes without allowing a goal from July 4 – August 20, it was the longest scoreless streak of the season by an hour of action.
