Pavel Dorofeyev Fantasy Stats

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev scored the first hat trick of the new NHL season in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss against the Los Angeles Kings. The Russian forward became the fourth player in franchise history to score three goals in a single period, helping the team tie the game at three by the end of the second frame. He struck twice on the power play. Dorofeyev's three hat tricks lead all NHLers in 2025. His first outing of the new campaign was very impressive, considering Dorofeyev battled a lower-body injury for much of the preseason. It's safe to say he has completely moved on from the injury.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Kings, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. Dorofeyev was hurt early in the preseason but could be ready to go for opening night. The Russian forward practiced on Tuesday, and Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters that he expects Dorofeyev to be available against L.A. Dorofeyev will begin the season on a line with Brandon Saad and Tomas Hertl. He has a significant role to play in the Vegas offense, having led the team with 35 goals last season.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) is expected to return to the lineup for Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. He was on the second line during the morning skate and should also receive power-play usage in Saturday's game. Dorofeyev has missed three contests due to an undisclosed injury and will take Brandon Saad's (lower body) spot in the lineup. Although Dorofeyev's efforts have yielded only one goal and one assist in five playoff appearances, he was on fire during the regular season. The Russian forward finished the campaign as Vegas' top goal-scorer, finding the net 35 times in 82 games.

So that's encouraging," Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy said on Friday. Dorofeyev skated on the first line before being hurt, recording one goal and one assist in five playoff appearances. He has established himself as a significant threat in front of the net, tallying a team-leading 35 goals in 82 regular-season appearances.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Game 2 against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. Vegas will be without its regular-season top goal-scorer for a third consecutive game. Dorofeyev's absence has elevated the fantasy value of Victor Olofsson, who has begun to see time on the first power-play unit. However, the Swedish winger has not been productive in the postseason, recording only one assist with seven shots on goal in five appearances. Dorofeyev remains day-to-day, with his next opportunity to return coming on Saturday, when the series moves to Edmonton.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) will not play in Tuesday's Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers. He will be out for a second consecutive contest while dealing with an undisclosed injury. Dorofeyev has notched one goal and one assist in five playoff games this year. With him out of commission, Victor Olofsson re-entered the lineup for Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild. In the contest, he opened his postseason scoring account with a power-play assist. Olofsson is expected to remain on the first power-play unit on Wednesday night and will work with the fourth line during even-strength play.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) sat out Saturday's practice and remains day-to-day. He is nursing an undisclosed injury suffered during Tuesday's Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild. The team was able to finish off Minnesota in Game 6 without Dorofeyev, but he is a significant loss for the Golden Knights. The Russian forward scored a team-high 35 goals and collected 52 points in 82 regular-season games. In five playoff appearances, he has contributed one goal and one assist. With Dorofeyev sidelined for Thursday's Game 6, Victor Olofsson entered the lineup after being a healthy scratch for two contests. He registered his first postseason point with a power-play assist. Olofsson will maintain a spot on the first power-play unit until Dorofeyev returns.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild. He was injured in the third period of Game 5 and is considered day-to-day. Dorofeyev's absence leaves the Golden Knights without their top regular-season goal-scorer. The Russian forward had a big year with 35 goals, adding 17 assists in 82 outings. In the playoffs, Dorofeyev has contributed one goal and one assist in five games. Due to Dorofeyev's absence, Mark Stone is expected to return to the first line on Thursday, while Victor Olofsson fills the gap in the lineup. Olofsson has made three appearances in the series but has not recorded any points, while being limited to three shots on goal.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's meeting with the Minnesota Wild. He sustained an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's Game 5 victory and didn't skate on Wednesday. However, Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy did not completely rule him out for Thursday's game. "We'll see how he is for tomorrow," Cassidy said. "We didn't skate today. But we'll have a better idea tomorrow." Dorofeyev has been held to two points (one goal, one assist) in five playoff appearances, but he was big for Vegas during the regular season with a team-high 35 goals in 82 games, adding 17 assists. Power-play specialist Victor Olofsson is expected to enter the lineup if Dorofeyev is unable to play on Thursday.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) was unavailable for the end of Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. He did not see the ice during the final four minutes of regulation and sat out the overtime period, which ended after 4:05 with Brett Howden's third postseason goal of the year. There were no updates on Dorofeyev after the game. The Russian forward led Vegas during the regular season with 35 goals. In the playoffs, Dorofeyev has been limited to one goal and one assist in five games, but he has continued to play a crucial role for the Golden Knights. Prior to his exit on Tuesday, Dorofeyev logged over five minutes of power-play time and tied for the game high with five shots on goal. Victor Olofsson, who has gone scoreless with three shots in three playoff appearances this season, is the most likely candidate to step in for Dorofeyev if needed on Thursday in Game 6.

Vegas Golden Knights left wing Pavel Dorofeyev led the team with three points during their victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday evening. Dorofeyev tallied his first goal of the evening in the second period on the power-play. Later in the third, Dorofeyev would tack on the primary assist on Tomas Hertl's 12th goal of the season and would strike again the power-play to put the game out of reach. Dorofeyev entered Sunday's game riding a four-game pointless streak. Overall, the 24-year-old has been productive in the goal-scoring department, tallying 16 goals across 43 games, including seven on the power-play. However, he has only tallied eight helpers. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Dorofeyev to be deployed on the second line.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Pavel Dorofeyev scored two goals in a 4-2 shootout victory Monday against the Minnesota Wild. His second goal of the evening came with 35 seconds left in regulation to make it 3-3 heading into overtime. Dorofeyev has played in 13 games this season, registering seven goals and two assists. The Russian winger is not a fantasy factor, but he could be soon if he keeps contributing offensively for the Golden Knights.

The 22-year-old has gotten an extended look on the second line but will come out of the lineup Saturday, with Nicolas Roy taking over his spot. Dorofeyev grabbed seven points over a seven-game stretch but finished pointless in the last two games. Roy has just recovered from a lower-body injury, showing good form straight away with two goals and an assist in four games.
