Pavel Dorofeyev - Grabs game-tying goal Dorofeyev scored a goal and fired two shots on net in Friday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis.
Impact Dorofeyev refused to bow out of Friday's high-scoring affair, as he netted the game-tying goal in the third period before the Blues would score the game winner nearly 10 minutes later. With the twine finder, the 25-year-old Dorofeyev is up to 16 goals, 29 points and 109 shots on net across 39 games this season. While his shot volume has decreased through the first half of the campaign, he has managed to stay on pace for 30-plus goals due to a one-point increase in shooting percentage. With 11 points in as many games, Dorofeyev should continue to be a frequent contributor in Vegas' high-powered offense, giving him value across most fantasy formats moving forward.

Keegan Kolesar - Nets first goal this season Kolesar scored a goal and recorded four hits in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
Impact Kolesar found the back of the net for the first time this season in Friday's contest, which put the Golden Knights out in front momentarily in the first period. With the twine finder, he is up to seven points, 33 shots on net, 119 hits and 26 blocks through 39 appearances this year. Three of his points have come in his last five games, where he has also registered 14 PIM, 16 hits and four blocks. In deep fantasy leagues that value banger stats, Kolesar is a decent streaming option while he heats up offensively. He remains on pace to post 200-plus hits for the fifth consecutive season.

Mark Stone - Extends goal streak to three Stone scored a goal and put two shots on net in Friday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis.
Impact Despite the loss, Stone used Friday's outing to extend his goal streak to three games, giving him seven twine finders over his last 10 games. Overall, the 33-year-old right winger has 11 goals, 32 points and 57 shots on net through 23 games this season. The Golden Knights' struggles finding the win column over the last two weeks haven't affected Stone's performance in the offensive zone. He remains a near shoo-in for above a point-per-game that he appears in this season.

Mathieu Joseph - Records two helpers in win Joseph dished out two assists in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Joseph notched his second multi-point game of the season Friday with a helper on both of the goals scored by his linemates, Alexei Toropchenko and Oskar Sundqvist, respectively. With the pair of apples, Joseph is up to eight assists, 10 points, 28 shots on goal, 74 hits and 23 blocks through 34 games this season. While he has two 30-plus point seasons over the last four years, his ceiling in fantasy is limited in a fourth-line role while occasionally being scratched from the lineup.
