Dunn scored a goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Rangers.
The Kraken ended the second period with a flurry of offense, and Dunn made sure to keep the pressure on with a tally a minute into the third. The defenseman has two goals and four assists over five games since he returned from a long-term upper-body injury. The 28-year-old is now at three goals, nine points, 21 shots on net and 14 blocked shots over nine appearances this season. Dunn is a lock for top-four minutes and power-play time, and he should be active in all fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Dunn scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

The 28-year-old is up to two goals, five assists, 17 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and a plus-4 rating through seven appearances this season. Dunn's presence in a top-four role should elevate the Kraken's offense as a whole.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Picks up helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Dunn logged an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
This was Dunn's second game back from a long-term upper-body injury. The 28-year-old defenseman hasn't been limited since his return, filling his usual spot on the top pairing and first power-play unit. The blueliner is up to four points, 15 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, six hits and a plus-2 rating over six appearances this season. Dunn will chip in a bit across the board and offer strong offense from the blue line as long as he stays healthy moving forward.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Aiming for November return
Rotowire
Dunn (upper body) will travel with the Kraken for an upcoming two-game road trip but won't be back in action until late November, Scott Malone of Root Sports reports.
Based on Dunn's timeline, fantasy players could potentially target Nov. 29 or 30 versus the Sharks as a possible return date for the blueliner. Out since mid-October, the 28-year-old Ontario native started the 2024-25 campaign off strong with points in three of his four appearances. Once given the all-clear, Dunn should offer decent offensive upside while retaking a power-play role.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Return not imminent
Rotowire
Dunn (upper body) is set to resume skating around Sunday, but he won't be ready to play for roughly three weeks, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
Dunn's already missed 10 games as of Friday, and it appears his absence will linger much longer than the minimum required by his placement on long-term injured reserve. Ryker Evans will continue to hold down a power-play role while Josh Mahura stays in the lineup during Dunn's absence.

Rotowire
Dunn (upper body) might start skating in the next few days, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.
Dunn isn't eligible to be activated off long-term injured reserve until Nov. 12, and coach Dan Bylsma believes there's a chance the 28-year-old defenseman will be ready to play by that date. Dunn has a goal and three points in four appearances in 2023-24. When he's healthy, Dunn will likely serve in a top-four capacity and feature on the first power-play unit.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Unavailable Saturday
Rotowire

Coach Dan Bylsma said Saturday that Dunn is still being evaluated. He was injured Thursday versus the Flyers and missed the third period.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Held out late Thursday
Rotowire
Dunn didn't play in the third period of Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers, but Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports that was for precautionary reasons.
After the game, Dunn was present in the locker room, further supporting the notion that his absence is nothing to worry about at this time. The defenseman missed a game Sunday in Dallas with an upper-body injury sustained versus the Wild last Saturday. In 13:10 of ice time, Dunn put up an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's game, giving him three points, 10 blocks and a minus-2 rating over four appearances this season. For now, it's safe to assume Dunn will be in the lineup Saturday versus the Flames -- if his status downgrades over the next couple of days, look for Ryker Evans to again move up the lineup while Josh Mahura would draw in on the third pairing.

Dunn missed 19 of the Kraken's last 21 games in 2023-24 due to a neck issue stemming from a hit he sustained in early March. The 27-year-old defenseman looks to be fine this fall, and he should be expected to fill a top-four role with power-play time in 2024-25.
