Dorofeyev has six goals, six assists, 24 PIMs and is a -3 plus/minus through 21 games with Henderson (AHL) but will be recalled Friday for the first time this season to join the Vegas Golden Knights. The 22-year-old had previously played two NHL games in 2021-22, but failed to pick up a point.

Dorofeyev was a third-round pick of the Golden Knights in 2019 and is set to make his NHL debut vs. the Kraken. Vegas will likely be without Mattias Janmark, Will Carrier, Nicolas Roy and Brett Howden, which opened the door for the 20-year-old winger. Dorofeyev had nine goals and four assists (13 points) in 24 AHL games last year.
