Dunn, a staple on the back end since joining Seattle in their inaugural 2021-22 season, has been placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve, a crushing blow for Seattle's defensive core. Dunn has scored 110 points (25G / 85A) in 140 games over the last two seasons. In a corresponding move, the team has recalled Cale Fleury from Coachella Valley of the AHL.
With Vince Dunn (upper body) being placed on Injured Reserve, Seattle has recalled Fleury from Coachella Valley (AHL). After playing 41 games with the Montreal Canadiens in his rookie season in 2019-20, the 25-year-old Fleury has only played 22 combined NHL games since. Last season with Coachella Valley, Fleury had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 65 games.
Dunn was limited to only 13:10 time-on-ice before exiting Thursday's 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers with an undisclosed injury. Dunn has three points (1G / 2A) in four games while occupying a spot on the top powerplay unit this season. If he is unable to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Calgary Flames, Brandon Montour will likely join the top powerplay unit in the interim.
Seattle started Grubauer in their first game of the season and have alternated goalies in each game since. They will return to Grubauer between the pipes in their fifth game of the 2024-25 campaign on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. Seattle is 2-2-0 to start the season, with both of their wins coming when Grubauer was the backup to Joey Daccord. Despite his winless record (0-2-0), Grubauer has not received ample goal support this season, as evident by his respectable 2.59 GAA. Seattle enters action on Thursday as a -129 home favorite against the Flyers.

Josh Mahura will make his debut in Dunn's absence on Sunday.
With Seattle on the backend of a back-to-back after a 5-4 win in Minnesota on Saturday, Philipp Grubauer will make his second start of the season in Dallas on Sunday. The 32-year-old German netminder struggled in his opening night start with St. Louis, allowing three goals on 25 shots (.880 SV%) in a losing effort. He takes on the undefeated Dallas Stars (2-0-0), who are also playing on a back-to-back after beating the Islanders 3-0 on Saturday.
Daccord served as the backup in the Kraken's season opener but will start Saturday in Minnesota. Fresh off of a five-year contract extension, Daccord will look to build off of a career-year in 2024. He was 19-18-11 with a 2.46 GAA and .916 SV% in 50 games with the Kraken. Seattle are +116 road underdogs.
