Vince Dunn posts three points in Kraken rout of Flames

Fantasy hockey: Dunn's one goal and two assists Thursday look like an outlier against his usual shot and ice time totals, not a sign of elevated production.

Vince Dunn had one goal and two assists on two shots in 20:37 of ice time Thursday, October 1 as the Kraken beat the Flames 6-1. He added two hits, one block and a plus-one rating.

The three points stand out, but the two shots and 20:37 of ice time sit close to his recent averages of 2.1 shots and 21:48 a night. Treat this as one game, not a shift in his offensive pace.

Dunn's recent averages show 0.61 points per game (0.16 goals, 0.46 assists) on 2.1 shots a night. He averages 0.25 power-play points per game and runs the second power-play unit for Seattle, logging 2:37 of power-play ice time per game (second among all Kraken skaters). His underlying play grades 72 out of 100 among defensemen, a read on how sustainable his scoring is based on shots, scoring chances and ice time.

Seattle plays four times in the coming days (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday), and Dunn remains a steady source of assists and power-play production from the blue line. His shot volume and minutes stayed in their usual range Thursday despite the big point total, so expect his production to settle back toward his 0.61-point-per-game average over the next stretch.

What to do

• Keep Dunn rostered in all formats as a defenseman who contributes across categories with second power-play unit time.

• Do not chase the three-point game by expecting elevated scoring in his four games this week.

• Start him for the four-game week, counting on his usual mix of assists, shots and blocks rather than another multi-point night.
