Kraken Embracing Lane Lambert’s System
The Seattle Kraken have fully embraced Lane Lambert’s approach, earning two-thirds of the possible points in their first 12 games. With Jordan Eberle and Jaden Schwartz off to impressive starts, the team’s buy-in is showing early success.
Vince Dunn on Accountability and Team Unity
Head coach Lane Lambert praised his players for committing to the system and maintaining consistency. Defender Vince Dunn reflected on how this season’s group stands out for its shared responsibility and focus.
“I like the accountability most of all. From top to bottom, we're all in. No one is getting freebies throughout the year. All of the guys are being held accountable, myself included, all the way to guys who are coming in for their first [NHL] year. The expectations are always there — no excuses about road trips, travel, or anything else.”
Dunn emphasized the clear communication and structure within the team, noting that players always understand their roles and positioning on the ice.
“There's just no questions. I've never been in a game or practice this year where I'm like, ‘What are we doing here?’”
This sense of clarity and discipline has become the foundation for Seattle’s strong early performance under Lambert’s leadership.
