Dunn registered the game-winning goal and added three shots on net in Saturday's 4-1 win against Pittsburgh.
During a 5-on-3 power play, Dunn rifled a shot from distance to put the Kraken ahead late in the second period. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points on the season in just 30 appearances.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Aiming for November return
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.
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.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Held out late Thursday
Rotowire
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.
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 appearances this season.
