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.

Signed a two-year, $3.67 million contract with the Golden Knights in July of 2024.
Offically ruled out Friday
Dorofeyev (lower body) will miss the preseason finale versus the Sharks on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dorofeyev was on the ice Friday but won't be in the lineup for the Knights. While the team hasn't offered a firm recovery timeline yet, the fact that he is back on the ice could clear the way for the winger to suit up in the season opener versus Los Angeles on Wednesday.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Doubtful Thursday
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.
