Dunn logged two assists, including one on the power play, and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Dunn has three points, six shots on net and a plus-2 rating over two games to begin the season. The 28-year-old blueliner has looked no worse for wear after missing time late in the preseason due to an undisclosed injury. Injuries have cost him major portions of the last two seasons, and that may have caused some fantasy managers to forget what he can do when healthy. He's in a position to succeed as a top-four blueliner with ample power-play time.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Strikes early in win
Rotowire
Dunn scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Dunn battled an undisclosed injury during the preseason, but he was able to handle a top-four role Thursday, playing 19:54 in the win. He scored the Kraken's first goal of the season just 2:21 into the game. The 28-year-old defenseman has plenty of fantasy potential, though it may be a bit much to ask him to replicate his career year of 64 points from 2022-23. He had 39 points over 62 outings in 2024-25, and he should be able to push over the 40-point threshold if he can stay healthy this year. At his best, Dunn is a steady offensive defenseman who can provide decent totals in PIM and blocked shots as well.

Rotowire
