Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on four shots in Monday's 5-4 shootout win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dorofeyev scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev snapped a three-game slump with his third-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. He hasn't recorded an assist in 11 games, but he has six goals in that span. The winger is at 10 goals, three helpers, 57 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 20 appearances this season, serving primarily in a middle-six role with power-play time.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev picked off a pass and converted quickly at 4:29 of the third period. His tally held as the game-winner, his first such goal this season. The 24-year-old winger has five goals over his last six games, and he's up to nine tallies, three assists, 48 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 16 appearances. Dorofeyev's success as a scorer should be enough to keep him in a second-line role.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev opened the scoring in the middle of the first period with his fourth goal over the last four contests. The 24-year-old has yet to get on the scoresheet in more than two consecutive games, but he's also avoided any droughts longer than that. The winger is up to eight goals, three assists, 40 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 14 appearances in a second-line role. Half of his tallies have come on the power play.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dorofeyev scored a pair of goals, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev had the last two goals of the game, making the score look a bit more respectable than the Golden Knights' performance. The 24-year-old winger has three multi-point efforts over his last five outings. For the season, he's up to six goals, nine points, 32 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 11 contests. Dorofeyev has held down a second-line role and also plays on the power play, where he has scored three of his six goals. If he can maintain those roles, he looks poised to be a steady scorer, one that should be rostered in most fantasy formats even with a lack of physical play.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on a game-high nine shots while adding two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev turned 24 years old Saturday and celebrated with his best game of the season. It was his second multi-point effort, and he's gotten more comfortable in a second-line role as the season has progressed. Overall, the winger has four goals, three helpers, 25 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev tallied in the first period, scoring for the second time in three games. He has added 10 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across five appearances this season. He's bounced around the lineup a bit, but his 18:03 of ice time Thursday suggests he's gained a little more trust from head coach Bruce Cassidy. Still, Dorofeyev hasn't quite meshed with Tomas Hertl yet, and with the Golden Knights being heavily dependent on their top line, Dorofeyev may be a volatile option for fantasy managers early in the campaign.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
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's not 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.
