Dorofeyev scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev's tally in the second period put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1, and they never looked back. The winger has a chance to carve out a regular role while William Karlsson (lower body) and William Carrier (upper body) are out. Dorofeyev has three goals and an assist over his last five games, and he's up to 10 points, 38 shots and a plus-2 rating through 20 contests overall.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev opened the scoring just 3:59 into the game, but Sergei Bobrovsky wouldn't give up another goal to Vegas. Dorofeyev has three points over his last four contests and should have steady playing time until Keegan Kolesar (illness) returns. For the season, Dorofeyev has four goals, nine points (matching his career high), 37 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 19 appearances.

Dorofeyev recorded an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev has two points over five games since rejoining the lineup on a regular basis. He's added 10 shots on net and five blocked shots in that span. Dorofeyev is unlikely to play much more than a middle-six role, but he's been solid when called upon this season. The winger has produced eight points, 35 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 18 appearances.

Dorofeyev scored his third goal of the season in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old winger tied the score at 2-2 inside the final minute of the second period by snapping home a centering pass from Ben Hutton, but the third was all Florida. Dorofeyev is currently seeing top-six minutes at even strength, but he's had trouble keeping a spot in the lineup this season and has just three goals and seven points in 16 appearances.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
A five-game point drought turned into a 10-game stint as a healthy scratch for Dorofeyev. The 23-year-old finally got a chance to rejoin the lineup with Michael Amadio (personal) out, and Dorofeyev made the most of it with a third-period tally. He's been in a tough position as Vegas' 13th forward, but Dorofeyev has six points, 24 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 13 appearances this season.

Dorofeyev notched two assists and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev has three helpers over his last two contests. He set up both of William Karlsson's third-period tallies in Saturday's blowout win. Dorofeyev has been steady when called upon with a goal, four assists, 12 shots on net, a plus-4 rating, three hits and three blocked shots over seven outings. His place in the lineup is likely secure at least until Nicolas Roy (undisclosed) can return from injured reserve.

Dorofeyev recorded an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev set up a William Karlsson tally in the first period. With Nicolas Roy (undisclosed) and William Carrier (illness) out Thursday, Dorofeyev was able to maintain a third-line spot in the lineup. The 23-year-old has done fine when called upon, earning a goal, two assists, 10 shots on net, three hits and a plus-3 rating over six appearances this season.

Dorofeyev earned a goal and posted three shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev stormed toward the cage and anticipated a perfectly timed pass from Michael Amadio for his first goal of the season. It remains to be seen whether Dorofeyev will remain in the lineup once Nicolas Roy (undisclosed) is ready to return from an injury, but the first order of business for the Golden Knights is Saturday's road clash with the Kings. Dorofeyev is projected to get another third-line look for the upcoming contest.

Dorofeyev recorded an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev entered the lineup with Brett Howden (suspension) and William Carrier (upper body) unavailable. Playing on the third line, Dorofeyev saw 12:35 of ice time in his season debut and earned his helper on a Brayden Pachal tally in the third period. In 18 games last year, Dorofeyev averaged 14:14 of ice time with nine points and 40 shots on goal. The 22-year-old winger could stick in the lineup with a strong showing, though competition for even bottom-six spots in Vegas' forward group figures to be tough this season.

Dorofeyev signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dorofeyev produced seven goals and two assists over 18 contests at the NHL level last season. The bulk of his appearances came in March and April, which suggests he could have an inside edge for a roster spot on Opening Night. The 22-year-old winger is likely to be limited to a bottom-six role when in Vegas' lineup in 2023-24.
