Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Expected to play Wednesday
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest available on Pavel Dorofeyev:
- Dorofeyev was listed as an expected participant for a Vegas Golden Knights game in mid-December 2025 after an injury scare, with a note that he missed a regular-season game but was set to return soon [source: CBS Sports/RotoWire piece from Dec 16, 2025]. This suggests he was actively contributing for Vegas at that time [CBS Sports/RotoWire].
- In April 2026, reports highlight his continued impact, including a recent power-play goal and a multi-game stretch with goals and assists, underscoring his role as a top-six forward and his effectiveness on the Knights’ man advantage [theScore, Apr 15, 2026].
- Earlier career notes (2024–2025) describe Dorofeyev as a developing offensive contributor, with a career-high goal total the previous season and a role on a line with established wingers, showing his trajectory toward becoming a consistent top-six option [The Hockey News, Jan 7, 2024; NHL Edge notes, Oct 2025].
