Bats home goal Dunn scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

The blueliner batted home a third-period tally Thursday, which was upheld on a review to check for a high stick. Dunn is up to four goals, 10 points, 28 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances.

Scores in wild win Dunn scored a goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Rangers.

Impact 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.

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

Impact One of Dunn's helpers came on the power play. The 28-year-old defenseman now has four points over three contests since he returned from a long-term injury. 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.

Picks up helper Tuesday Dunn logged an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from LTIR Dunn (upper body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Following a 19-game absence, Dunn is poised to return to the lineup Saturday against San Jose. He has generated one goal, two assists, 10 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and four hits across four appearances this season. Dunn will probably occupy a top-four role and get power-play time versus the Sharks.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Aiming for November return 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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Return not imminent 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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Might resume skating soon Dunn (upper body) might start skating in the next few days, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Impact 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 forward 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-six capacity and feature on the first power-play unit.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Facing extended absence Dunn (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday.

Impact Dunn won't be eligible to play until Nov. 8 against Ottawa -- the move is retroactive to Oct. 17. Cale Fleury has been recalled from AHL Coachella Valley in a corresponding move. Dunn has picked up one goal, three points, 10 shots, 10 blocks and a minus-2 rating through four contests.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Dunn (undisclosed) won't play against the Flames on Saturday, the SoundofHockey.com reports.

Impact Coach Dan Bylsma said Saturday that Dunn is still being evaluated. He was injured Thursday versus the Flyers and missed the third period. Dunn has a goal and two assists with 10 blocked shots in four appearances this season. Look for Ryker Evans to replace him on the second power play while Josh Mahura draws into the lineup on the third defense pairing.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to day-to-day Dunn is considered day-to-day heading into Saturday's game versus the Flames, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.

Impact Dunn was held out for what was initially considered precautionary reasons in the third period of Thursday's win over the Flyers. At this point, the 27-year-old is likely heading toward being a game-time decision Saturday. If Dunn can't play, Ryker Evans would take his top-four spot while Josh Mahura would draw into the lineup.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Held out late Thursday 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.

Impact 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 contests 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.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Returning Tuesday Dunn (upper body) is set to play Tuesday versus the Predators, Bob Condor of the Kraken's official site reports.

Impact Dunn will likely reclaim a role on the top pairing and should also see power-play time. The 27-year-old defenseman missed just one game with the injury. He has two points, six shots on net and six blocked shots over two appearances this season.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Dunn (upper body) will be a game-time decision Tuesday versus Nashville, according to Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times.

Impact Dunn participated in Tuesday's morning skate after sitting out Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over Minnesota. He has collected one goal, one assist, six shots on net and six blocked shots through two contests this campaign. If Dunn returns to the lineup versus the Predators, Josh Mahura will likely be a healthy scratch.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Dunn is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports Sunday.

Impact Dunn took a hit late in the third period of Saturday's contest versus Minnesota -- the left-shot blueliner didn't return for overtime. Josh Mahura will replace Dunn in the lineup Sunday, and Ryker Evans will slot in on the top-defense pair. Dunn's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against Nashville.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Off to sniping start Dunn opened the scoring Tuesday in a 3-2 loss to the Blues when he stuffed in a rebound 27 seconds into the second period.

Impact Jordan Binnington stopped his shot from the right face-off circle early in the second, but Dunn followed the play and jammed in his own rebound from the top of the crease. He is coming off 46 points (11 goals) in 59 games in 2023-24 and 64 (14 goals) in 81 contests the year before. Both totals put Dunn near the top of the team scoring list in each of those two seasons.

Skating at camp Dunn (neck) is scheduled to participate in Friday's on-ice session at Kraken camp, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Impact 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.
