When Pavel Dorofeyev led the Vegas Golden Knights with 37 goals last season and scored 12 more on their run to the Stanley Cup Final, he did so as part of a stacked lineup featuring Mitch Marner, Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. Traded to the New York Rangers, who signed him to a seven-year, $77 million contract, Dorofeyev will be counted on to lead the way. Dorofeyev, who turns 26 in late October, is one of several familiar faces in a new place this NHL season.
