EDGE Analysis

Dorofeyev will miss his second straight game due to his lingering undisclosed injury. In five postseason appearances, the 24-year-old winger notched one goal and one assist -- both with the man advantage -- to go with 18 shots, three hits and two blocks. With Dorofeyev on the shelf, Victor Olofsson should continue to see minutes in a middle-six role.

Dorofeyev sat out Thursday's series-clinching 3-2 win over Minnesota in Game 6 after getting hurt in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory. He has one goal and an assist in five postseason outings after producing 35 tallies and 52 points across 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. If Dorofeyev returns for Game 1 versus Edmonton, Tanner Pearson and Victor Olofsson are candidates to come out of the lineup.

Dorofeyev has been ruled out of Thursday's Game 6 in Minnesota with an undisclosed injury, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Dorofeyev suffered the injury in Game 5 on Tuesday. The winger led the Golden Knights in goalscoring during the regular season with 35, three better than Tomas Hertl. Dorofeyev has one goal and one assist in five playoff games this season. Consider him day-to-day at this time.

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 (undisclosed) didn't play after the 15:56 mark of the third period and wasn't on the bench in overtime in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild in Game 5, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was no update on Dorofeyev's status after the contest. If the winger is forced to miss Thursday's Game 6 in Minnesota, Victor Olofsson would 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.
