Golden Knights' Dorofeyev Out for Game 6

Vegas Golden Knights forward Pavel Dorofeyev, the team’s leading scorer with 35 goals this season, will miss Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild due to an undisclosed injury suffered late in Game 5. Head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed Dorofeyev is day-to-day, with Victor Olofsson expected to join the lineup and power play in his place. Mark Stone has been promoted to the top line as the Golden Knights adjust their roster. While Dorofeyev has had a breakout regular season, he has registered only one goal and one assist in five playoff games. The Golden Knights continue to rely on depth, with contributions from Brett Howden and Tomas Hertl helping maintain their series lead. Vegas, holding a one-game advantage, may continue to exercise caution regarding Dorofeyev’s return as they aim to close out the series in Minnesota.
