Pavel Dorofeyev RW | LV
Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Secures new career high in goals
Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Dorofeyev's shooting luck has faded a bit late in the season, with just two goals on 36 shots over his last 13 contests. Overall, the 25-year-old winger has career highs in goals (36), assists (27), points (63) and power-play points (29). He's added 225 shots on net and a minus-3 rating across 80 outings, mainly in a second-line role. Pure scorers can run streaky, and Golden Knights fans probably won't mind if he waits until the playoffs to turn up the heat again.

Blackhawks' Ryan Greene: Deposits goal in loss
Greene scored a goal and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis.

He's experienced hot and cold stretches offensively, but can take pride in securing the first double-digit goal season of his young career.

Carter Hart G | LV
Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Up to task against Avalanche
Hart stopped 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Hart picked up his fourth win in a row, and he did it against the league's top team this time. He's allowed just seven goals on 97 shots over those four victories, solidifying his status as the Golden Knights' No. 1 goalie heading into the playoffs. The 27-year-old is up to 9-3-3 with a 2.87 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. The Golden Knights' next game is Monday at home versus the Jets, followed by the regular-season finale at home Wednesday against the Kraken. Expect Hart to start at least one of those contests.

Dalibor Dvorsky RW | STL
Blues' Dalibor Dvorsky: Pots insurance goal Saturday
Dvorsky tallied a goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
Dvorsky scored the Blues' lone goal of the third period, giving his team a 5-2 lead with just under 13 minutes remaining in regulation.

His rookie campaign has been an up-and-down experience, but he's trending in the right direction with three goals and five points over his last 13 games. Dvorsky is a solid fantasy pickup in most dynasty leagues with the Blues' offseason right around the corner.

Saturday's multi-point effort was his third across 17 appearances since Jan. 31. Over his last 18 outings, he's taken his offensive production up a notch with eight assists and 11 points. He should continue to provide for the Blues in a bottom-six role.
