Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Nets power-play marker
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.
Dorofeyev was the Golden Knights' team leader with 35 goals in the regular season, and he's not done scoring yet. He restored a lead for Vegas with his tally at 13:33 of the second period. The 24-year-old winger has scored in three straight contests. He saw just 13:23 of ice time Sunday and could see more sheltered minutes during the playoffs, but he should continue to be a factor on the power play, where he had 13 goals and 17 points during the regular season.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Provides helper Thursday
Rotowire
Dorofeyev notched an assist in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Dorofeyev logged eight goals and five assists over the last 10 contests of January. The winger's surge comes alongside an 11-game point streak by linemate Tomas Hertl. Dorofeyev has been pretty good in his own right with 22 tallies, 12 helpers, 153 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 52 outings this season. As long as he's in the top six and on the first power-play unit, Dorofeyev should be capable of staying productive enough to help in fantasy.

Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Dorofeyev has two goals and an assist over his last four outings. While he's been on the third line in that time, it appears the move down the lineup has helped him get back on track after a rough early portion of December.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Nabs helper in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flames.
Dorofeyev has three points over his last six games, an improvement on the six-game slump that came before that stretch. The 24-year-old winger remains in a third-line role -- without a return to the top six, his offense may be limited. He's at 13 goals, seven helpers, 104 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 36 appearances this season, so he's still a decent source of depth scoring in fantasy.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Ends goal drought in win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Dorofeyev snapped an 11-game goal drought with his third-period tally. The 24-year-old winger was a good story for Vegas early on, but since his offense has slipped, he's found himself on the third line. He has matched his career high with 13 goals, and he's added six assists, 102 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 35 appearances. Considering he's fallen down the lineup while the Golden Knights aren't fully healthy up front, Dorofeyev isn't likely to bounce back into the top six any time soon.

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.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Lights lamp in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
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 isn't 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.
