Pavel Dorofeyev Eyed for Over 2.5 Shots in Game 6 as Golden Knights Chase Series Win

2.5 shots is the target for Pavel Dorofeyev in Thursday’s Game 6, with the Vegas winger priced at -115 to clear the mark against Anaheim.
10 shot attempts over the last two games underpin that pick, as Dorofeyev has scored three times and now skates on Vegas’ top line with Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev.
58.5% expected-goal share from that line in Game 5 helped drive Vegas’ 3-2 overtime win, giving the Golden Knights a 3-2 series lead entering the 9:50 p.m. ET puck drop in Anaheim.
6.77% series shooting by the Ducks has blunted an otherwise competitive process, even though Anaheim has posted a 50.53% expected-goal share at even strength.
1 win would send Vegas to a second-round meeting with Colorado, while Anaheim must force Game 7 despite a postseason that has still highlighted progress from its young roster.
Can Anaheim's promising stats finally overcome Vegas's playoff grit in this do-or-die Game 6?
With key players out for both teams, whose remaining stars will shine brightest to decide the series?
