Head coach Bruce Cassidy said Wednesday that Dorofeyev (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev exited Tuesday's Game 5 overtime win in the third period due to an unspecified injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Game 6 in Minnesota on Thursday. If the 24-year-old is unable to suit up, Victor Olofsson will likely enter the lineup in his place.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev scored in the last two games of the regular season, giving him 35 tallies on the year. Seven of those goals were game-winners for the winger, who enjoyed a breakout at 24 years old. He concludes the regular season with 52 points, 253 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 82 appearances. Dorofeyev will be a power-play threat as well as a top-six forward to begin the playoffs.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev snapped a four-game point drought in this contest. He struck early, scoring just 5:25 into the game. The 24-year-old winger is up to 34 goals, 51 points, 247 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 81 appearances. Dorofeyev shouldn't fly too far under the radar in playoff fantasy formats, especially when occupying a top-six role on a top-seeded team.

Dorofeyev scored three goals on five shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev scored twice in the second period, including the opening tally on the power play. He completed his hat trick midway through the third, and that goal was his 30th of the campaign. The 24-year-old has surged to the milestone mark with six goals, along with three assists, over nine outings in March. Dorofeyev is one of 17 players to reach 30 goals so far this season, and he's at 46 points, 205 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 68 outings. With a 14.6 shooting percentage, this is reasonable production for a shoot-first player who's only getting started on his NHL journey.

Dorofeyev scored a goal in a 4-3 shootout loss to Buffalo on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev put a backhander past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen from the side of the net. He's on a three-game goal streak (three snipes), and he has five points across a four-game scoring streak. Most impressively, Dorofeyev has 27 goals (43 points) in 66 appearances this season, and he's done it while shooting at about the same rate (13.6) as his career average (14.0). There's a plethora of NHLers with 27 goals this season, and it's darn impressive that Dorofeyev's name is alongside Nathan MacKinnon, Jack Hughes, Dylan Larkin and Brady Tkachuk. He's always had this potential, and this feels real.
