Pavel Dorofeyev only has one goal through the New York Rangers' first seven games of the season. While he is being paid lucrative money to score goals, it's not time for fans to get worried about the winger just yet.
Blue Line Station argues that New York Rangers fans should not panic over forward Pavel Dorofeyev's slow offensive start. Acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights on a seven-year, $77 million contract, Dorofeyev has registered only one goal and two assists across seven games. The writer notes that despite the scoring drought, the Rangers maintain a 5-2-0 record and Dorofeyev remains aggressive offensively.
Dorofeyev leads the Rangers with 24 shots and has generated eight high-danger scoring chances. Head coach Mike Sullivan recently placed him on the top line alongside Mika Zibanejad and Gabe Perreault, while also returning him to the primary power-play unit. The writer concludes that Dorofeyev will eventually break through as he continues adapting to his new team.
