Golden Knights’ Alex Pietrangelo returns to lineup for Game 2 vs. Oilers

The Vegas Golden Knights are gaining a key player for Game 2 against the Edmonton Oilers.

Defenceman Alex Pietrangelo, who was a late scratch for Game 1 with an illness, will slot back into the lineup as his Golden Knights look to even the second-round series on home ice.

Pietrangelo, 35, played in all six games of the Golden Knights’ series win over the Minnesota Wild in Round 1 and recorded one goal and two assists. He had four goals and 29 assists in 71 regular-season games for Vegas this season.

He was replaced in the Game 1 lineup by 24-year-old Kaedan Korczak.

Leading scorer Pavel Dorofeyev will remain out of the lineup with an undisclosed injury, head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters earlier Thursday.

Dorofeyev had a breakout season, leading the Golden Knights with 35 goals and adding 17 assists for 52 points.

The left-shot winger has been replaced in the lineup by Victor Olofsson, who scored 15 goals this season. Olofsson also took Dorofeyev’s spot on the power play.

Dorofeyev, 24, sustained an undisclosed injury late in Vegas’s 3-2 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild in Game 5 of their first-round series.

Game 2 of the Golden Knights’ second-round series against the Oilers goes Thursday at 9:30 p.m. ET / 7:30 p.m. MT with live coverage available on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
