Dunn (neck) is scheduled to participate in Friday's on-ice session at Kraken camp, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
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. He produced 46 points (16 on the power play), 120 shots on net, 78 PIM and 64 blocked shots over 59 contests last season.
