Pavel Dorofeyev Shines in Preseason Following Blockbuster Trade

New York Rangers forward Pavel Dorofeyev made a strong impression in the preseason, tallying a goal and two assists across two exhibition games, including a multi-point performance in Friday's 6-1 victory. Acquired on a seven-year contract with an $11 million AAV, the 25-year-old winger has skated alongside J.T. Miller and Oliver Bjorkstrand. Dorofeyev comes off a 37-goal campaign in 2025-26, including 20 power-play goals, bringing elite goal-scoring capability to New York.
