Golden Knights’ Dorofeyev out for Game 1 against Oilers

The Vegas Golden Knights will open their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers without one of their best goal scorers.

Pavel Dorofeyev will not play in Game 1 on Tuesday, Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters.

The 24-year-old sustained an undisclosed injured late in Vegas’s 3-2 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild in Game 5 of their first-round series.

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

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

“It’s not like we’re plugging in a guy that’s never scored, so hopefully he picks up some of what Pav did in terms of the play,” Cassidy said after the team’s morning skate in St. Paul following the injury. “We’ve got lots of guys in the lineup that can do it. We’ll miss him, obviously, but we weren’t overly reliant on one player anyway.”

Dorofeyev started that game on the top line with Jack Eichel and William Karlsson. Mark Stone took Dorofeyev’s place on the line. The combined lines outshot the Wild 8-3 at 5-on-5, according to Natural Stat Trick.

“(Stone has) played with Jack a lot,” Cassidy said. “We wanted to see Stoney with Karly, so there you go. It took us a while. It’s just the way things worked out a little bit. … I think it was our intention Stoney and Jack would be back together at some point.”
