Status report:

• The Kraken hosted the morning skate I chose on Friday.
• Dunn, a defenseman, has yet to return to practice and will miss his 10th straight game; is eligible to return from the long-term injured reserve against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, but Seattle coach Dan Bylsma said Thursday it could be “a few more days” beyond that.
• Grubauer, goalkeeper, day to day; Stezka was recalled on an emergency basis from the Coachella Valley of the American Hockey League on Thursday and will back up Daccord.
