Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored three goals on five shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
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.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Four-game, five-point streak
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal in a 4-3 shootout loss to Buffalo on Saturday.
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.

Rotowire
Dorofeyev netted a goal, took three shots and tallied four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win against Boston.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored three goals, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.

He's at 13 goals, seven helpers, 104 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 36 appearances this season, so he's still a decent source of depth scoring in fantasy.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Ends goal drought in win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Dorofeyev snapped an 11-game goal drought with his third-period tally. The 24-year-old winger was a good story for Vegas early on, but since his offense has slipped, he's found himself on the third line. He has matched his career high with 13 goals, and he's added six assists, 102 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 35 appearances. Considering he's fallen down the lineup while the Golden Knights aren't fully healthy up front, Dorofeyev isn't likely to bounce back into the top six any time soon.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Plucks apple in win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Dorofeyev's offense had turned cold recently -- his assist snapped a six-game drought. The 24-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, but he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in three straight contests. He's produced 18 points, 93 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 31 outings, putting him on track for a career year, but his production has been goal-heavy, so he may be prone to some slumps when he doesn't have his shot right.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Dishes two helpers in win
Rotowire
Dorofeyev recorded two assists and three shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
Dorofeyev had been all goals in November prior to Friday, tallying six times over the first 12 contests of the month. He helped out on a pair of Ivan Barbashev goals in Friday's win. Dorofeyev has bounced around the lineup a lot, but he's consistently seen top-six minutes, which has fueled his breakout campaign. The winger is up to 12 goals, five assists, 71 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 24 appearances. That level of offense makes him worth a look in most fantasy formats, particularly those focused on point production.
