Pavel Dorofeyev

25-Year-Old Left WingLW
Vegas Golden Knights
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dorofeyev was one of the league’s breakout surprises in 2024-25 -- he led the Golden Knights with 35 goals (13 on the power play) and added 17 assists, good for the fifth-highest point total on the team. The left-shot winger’s 16:32 of ice time was a notable increase from the 13:17 he averaged in 2023-24, so he clearly earned trust on both ends of the ice. Dorofeyev also paced the team by a considerable margin with 254 shots on goal. Considering his usage in a top-six role and on the top power-play combination, Dorofeyev has the tools to be a consistent 30-goal scorer but has yet to consistently rack up assists. Unless he makes strides as a playmaker, the 2019 third-round pick’s value will be tied to finding the back of the net, though his potent release may continue to improve as he enters the prime of his career.

Crosses 30-goal, 50-point marks

March 6, 2026
Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
ANALYSIS
Dorofeyev's tally gave him 30 goals on the year, making him the first Golden Knight to reach that mark in consecutive seasons. It was also his 50th point, and he added his 51st with a helper to set up Mitch Marner's tally. Dorofeyev has added 173 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 63 appearances this season. He hasn't slowed down yet either, earning six goals and five assists over his last nine outings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Dorofeyev displayed some upside in 2023-24, earning 13 goals and 24 points in 47 appearances despite averaging only 13:17 of ice time. He was productive alongside William Karlsson and had some chemistry with Mark Stone. The 23-year-old Dorofeyev will get a chance to secure a top-six role out of training camp following the offseason departures of Jonathan Marchessault and Chandler Stephenson via free agency, making him a possibility for 40-plus points in 2024-25, though he's unlikely to add much outside of the scoring categories.
Dorofeyev may be the most intriguing depth player on the Golden Knights' roster. At 22 years old, he's not established yet, but he produced nine points in 18 regular-season contests before sitting in the press box for the entirety of Vegas' Stanley Cup run. Dorofeyev looked good when he got top-six minutes late in the season, but he also shot 17.5 percent, an unsustainable mark for the full season. He'll likely have to earn his place in training camp, but he'd likely be the first man up as an injury replacement from AHL Henderson if he misses out on the Opening Night roster. Dynasty managers may want to keep an eye on him, but Dorofeyev can go undrafted in redraft formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Doubtful Thursday
LWVegas Golden Knights
May 1, 2025
Dorofeyev, who left Tuesday's Game 5 with an undisclosed injury, is unlikely to play Thursday in Minnesota, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dorofeyev has a goal and an assist in five playoff games this season. He led the Golden Knights in goals during the regular season, potting 35, three better than Tomas Hertl. Victor Olofsson took Dorofeyev's spot on the top power play at practice Thursday, making it doubtful that Dorofeyev will play Thursday.
