What happened: The defenseman secured the historic milestone last weekend during Seattle's 6-1 victory over the Calgary Flames. Dunn became the second player in NHL history to produce offense in his first six home debuts with a single club. He shares the exclusive category with Wayne Gretzky, who accomplished the feat in nine consecutive home openers with the Edmonton Oilers.

Why it matters: The achievement underscores his consistent production since the franchise's inception in 2021. He scored the first goal in Climate Pledge Arena history during the inaugural home opener and remains a cornerstone of the blue line early in the 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Gretzky set the all-time mark with points in nine straight home openers for Edmonton from 1979-80 through 1987-88. Dunn's streak began on October 23, 2021.

What to watch: The Kraken will rely on his offensive contributions as the regular season schedule intensifies.
