PAVEL DOROFEYEV NEWS

Capitalizes on turnover Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Dorofeyev picked off a pass and converted quickly at 4:29 of the third period. His tally held as the game-winner, his first such goal this season. The 24-year-old winger has five goals over his last six games, and he's up to nine tallies, three assists, 48 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 16 appearances. Dorofeyev's success as a scorer should be enough to keep him in a second-line role.

Tallies on power play Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Impact Dorofeyev opened the scoring in the middle of the first period with his fourth goal over the last four contests. The 24-year-old has yet to get on the scoresheet in more than two consecutive games, but he's also avoided any droughts longer than that. The winger is up to eight goals, three assists, 40 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 14 appearances in a second-line role. Half of his tallies have come on the power play.

Sparks comeback Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Dorofeyev finished off a pass from Tomas Hertl at 15:06 of the second period to get the Golden Knights on the board. Over the last six games, Dorofeyev has contributed five goals and three assists. He's thriving on the second line with seven tallies, 10 points, 35 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 12 appearances. The 24-year-old winger looks poised to take a step forward in his first full campaign, and given the strength of Vegas' top six, he's worth a look as an offense-only option in fantasy.

Scores twice in loss Dorofeyev scored a pair of goals, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Dorofeyev had the last two goals of the game, making the score look a bit more respectable than the Golden Knights' performance. The 24-year-old winger has three multi-point efforts over his last five outings. For the season, he's up to six goals, nine points, 32 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 11 contests. Dorofeyev has held down a second-line role and also plays on the power play, where he has scored three of his six goals. If he can maintain those roles, he looks poised to be a steady scorer, one that should be rostered in most fantasy formats even with a lack of physical play.

Three-point birthday present Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on a game-high nine shots while adding two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Dorofeyev turned 24 years old Saturday and celebrated with his best game of the season. It was his second multi-point effort, and he's gotten more comfortable in a second-line role as the season has progressed. Overall, the winger has four goals, three helpers, 25 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Goal, assist in blowout win Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Dorofeyev stretched Vegas' lead to 3-0 in the first period and helped out on a Tomas Hertl tally in the third. This was Dorofeyev's first multi-point effort of the campaign, and the winger is up to three goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, three hits and five blocked shots through seven contests. He's seeing second-line usage at even strength and has started to pick up power-play time, but he's not yet consistent enough on offense to be rostered in standard formats.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Nets power-play goal Thursday Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Dorofeyev tallied in the first period, scoring for the second time in three games. He has added 10 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across five contests this season. He's bounced around the lineup a bit, but his 18:03 of ice time Thursday suggests he's gained a little more trust from head coach Bruce Cassidy. Still, Dorofeyev hasn't quite meshed with Tomas Hertl yet, and with the Golden Knights being heavily dependent on their top line, Dorofeyev may be a volatile option for fantasy managers early in the campaign.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Lights lamp in Sunday's win Dorofeyev scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Dorofeyev has gotten off to a slow start in 2024-25, as his goal Sunday was his first point in three games. He's been listed on the second line but has seen ice time in line with a bottom-six role, and he's not part of the power-play mix right now. The winger flashed some scoring talent in 2023-24 with 24 points over 47 regular-season outings, but he'll need to find some consistency if he's to stay in the lineup on a regular basis. Dorofeyev's struggles may be partially attributed to the absence of William Karlsson (undisclosed), who was one of the winger's most frequent linemates last year.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Hat trick, assist in loss Dorofeyev scored three goals and added an assist in Saturday's 6-5 preseason loss to the Sharks.

Impact Dorofeyev scored once in each period and also assisted on an Alexander Holtz tally in the opening frame. Those two wingers were centered by Tomas Hertl and displayed some obvious chemistry in the preseason finale, even as the rest of the Vegas offense was rather quiet. Dorofeyev should be in the lineup to begin 2024-25 after producing 24 points over 47 regular-season contests last season, and he's looking like a breakout candidate.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Inks two-year extension Dorofeyev signed a two-year extension with the Golden Knights on Monday.

Impact Dorofeyev took on a bigger role with Vegas last season, scoring 13 goals and 24 points in 47 regular-season appearances. However, he only dressed in one postseason game after the team got a bit healthier. Dorofeyev could compete for a consistent middle-six role during the 2024-25 campaign.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

One of each in win Dorofeyev scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Dorofeyev tallied at 6:21 of the first period and also helped out on a Keegan Kolesar goal in the third. This was Dorofeyev's first multi-point effort since Jan. 15. The winger has been steady with four goals and two assists over his last 10 outings while seeing middle-six minutes. He's up to 22 points, 90 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 44 contests overall.

Logs helper in loss Dorofeyev notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Dorofeyev has three goals and a helper over his last seven appearances. The 23-year-old winger has shown solid chemistry alongside William Karlsson and Anthony Mantha over the last month. Dorofeyev has 12 goals, eight assists, 83 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 41 appearances this season, offering some offense-only upside in deeper fantasy formats.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again Thursday Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Dorofeyev opened the scoring in the first period. That was his third goal in four contests and his 12th tally of the season. The 23-year-old winger has found a home in a middle-six role with time on the second power-play unit for the Golden Knights. Overall, he's racked up 19 points, 79 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 38 appearances.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Lights lamp early Monday Dorofeyev scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

The 23-year-old winger is up to 11 tallies, 18 points, 72 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 36 appearances this season. He's likely to remain in a middle-six role down the stretch, though his lack of power-play time in March puts a damper on his fantasy value.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10th goal Dorofeyev scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Dorofeyev's tally early in the third period ended up being the Golden Knights' game-winner. The winger has three goals over six outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's been limited to a middle-six role, so his fantasy appeal isn't particularly high. Dorofeyev has 10 goals, seven assists, 71 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 35 contests this season.

Since his return, the 23-year-old winger notched two goals, six shots and one hit while averaging 12:06 of ice time. Without Dorofeyev in the lineup, Paul Cotter figures to suit up against the Bolts.

Impact Dorofeyev missed 14 games with an upper-body injury. He returned to his second-line role and made an immediate impact with a goal 9:08 into the game. The 23-year-old winger is up to a career-high eight tallies with seven assists, 65 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 30 appearances this season. If he can stay in the top six, he may be of interest to fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Impact Dorofeyev's return isn't imminent, but it's the first time he's practiced since going on injured reserve Feb. 12. The 23-year-old could be an option in the near future depending on how his practice sessions go. Dorofeyev saw top-six usage at times prior to his injury, but if the Golden Knights bolster their forward group, he could see less ice time upon his return.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
