Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Helps out on power play in loss
Rotowire
Dorofeyev notched a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Dorofeyev has earned seven points, including four on the power play, over his last three games. The winger looks to be meshing well with Tomas Hertl and Victor Olofsson in a middle-six capacity. Dorofeyev didn't do much in December but looks to be back to his productive ways. He's already secured a career year with 28 points (nine on the power play) over 45 appearances, and he's added 131 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Paces offense with three points
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored two power-play goals on five shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Dorofeyev had his best game in months, carrying the Golden Knights' offense while Jack Eichel (illness) sat out Sunday's contest. Prior to this game, Dorofeyev had been in a four-game slump. The winger is up to 16 tallies, eight assists, 126 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 43 appearances. He's played mainly on the second line recently, though he also has a spot on the second power-play unit. Dorofeyev will set a new career high when he earns his next point.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Pots goal Thursday
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. The 24-year-old winger is up to a career-high 14 goals with seven assists, 108 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 38 appearances.

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.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Plucks apple in win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Dorofeyev's offense had turned cold recently -- his assist snapped a six-game drought. The 24-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, but he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in three straight contests. He's produced 18 points, 93 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 31 outings, putting him on track for a career year, but his production has been goal-heavy, so he may be prone to some slumps when he doesn't have his shot right.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Dishes two helpers in win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev recorded two assists and three shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
Dorofeyev had been all goals in November prior to Friday, tallying six times over the first 12 contests of the month. He helped out on a pair of Ivan Barbashev goals in Friday's win. Dorofeyev has bounced around the lineup a lot, but he's consistently seen top-six minutes, which has fueled his breakout campaign. The winger is up to 12 goals, five assists, 71 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 24 appearances. That level of offense makes him worth a look in most fantasy formats, particularly those focused on point production.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Scores in shootout loss
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
Dorofeyev opened the scoring at 13:09 of the second period, only for Valeri Nichushkin to tie the game 33 seconds later. This was Dorofeyev's third goal in the last four contests, and he's up to 12 tallies, three assists, 68 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 23 outings this season. The Golden Knights are tinkering with their lines regularly, but Dorofeyev should be able to maintain at least middle-six usage and power-play time as long as he keeps scoring.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Pots power-play goal
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on four shots in Monday's 5-4 shootout win over the Flyers.
Dorofeyev is up to five goals over 11 contests in November, though he also has a minus-9 rating and 32 shots on net. The 24-year-old winger has done well in a middle-six role, but he's been just moderately consistent, so his fantasy utility may be limited in shallow formats. He's at 11 goals, three assists, 64 shots and a minus-6 rating over 22 games this season.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Sparks comeback
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.
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: Goal, assist in blowout win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.
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.

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.

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

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Inks two-year extension
Rotowire
Dorofeyev signed a two-year, $1.835 million AAV extension with the Golden Knights on Monday.
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.
