Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) will not play in Tuesday's Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers. He will be out for a second consecutive contest while dealing with an undisclosed injury. Dorofeyev has notched one goal and one assist in five playoff games this year. With him out of commission, Victor Olofsson re-entered the lineup for Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild. In the contest, he opened his postseason scoring account with a power-play assist. Olofsson is expected to remain on the first power-play unit on Wednesday night and will work with the fourth line during even-strength play.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) sat out Saturday's practice and remains day-to-day. He is nursing an undisclosed injury suffered during Tuesday's Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild. The team was able to finish off Minnesota in Game 6 without Dorofeyev, but he is a significant loss for the Golden Knights. The Russian forward scored a team-high 35 goals and collected 52 points in 82 regular-season games. In five playoff appearances, he has contributed one goal and one assist. With Dorofeyev sidelined for Thursday's Game 6, Victor Olofsson entered the lineup after being a healthy scratch for two contests. He registered his first postseason point with a power-play assist. Olofsson will maintain a spot on the first power-play unit until Dorofeyev returns.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild. He was injured in the third period of Game 5 and is considered day-to-day. Dorofeyev's absence leaves the Golden Knights without their top regular-season goal-scorer. The Russian forward had a big year with 35 goals, adding 17 assists in 82 outings. In the playoffs, Dorofeyev has contributed one goal and one assist in five games. Due to Dorofeyev's absence, Mark Stone is expected to return to the first line on Thursday, while Victor Olofsson fills the gap in the lineup. Olofsson has made three appearances in the series but has not recorded any points, while being limited to three shots on goal.

Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's meeting with the Minnesota Wild. He sustained an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's Game 5 victory and didn't skate on Wednesday. However, Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy did not completely rule him out for Thursday's game. "We'll see how he is for tomorrow," Cassidy said. "We didn't skate today. But we'll have a better idea tomorrow." Dorofeyev has been held to two points (one goal, one assist) in five playoff appearances, but he was big for Vegas during the regular season with a team-high 35 goals in 82 games, adding 17 assists. Power-play specialist Victor Olofsson is expected to enter the lineup if Dorofeyev is unable to play on Thursday.
