Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Lends helper Friday
Olofsson recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Olofsson has three helpers over his last two contests. He assisted on a Tomas Hertl tally in the second period of Friday's game. The 29-year-old Olofsson continues to impress in a middle-six role, racking up 17 points, 53 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 24 appearances. He's earned seven points and nine blocks over 10 outings since the holiday break, but it's unclear if the increased defensive work is a blip on the radar or a more permanent change in his playing style.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Helps out on power play in loss
Dorofeyev notched a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Dorofeyev has earned seven points, including four on the power play, over his last three games. The winger looks to be meshing well with Tomas Hertl and Victor Olofsson in a middle-six capacity. Dorofeyev didn't do much in December but looks to be back to his productive ways. He's already secured a career year with 28 points (nine on the power play) over 45 appearances, and he's added 131 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating.

Even with the recent slump on offense, Pietrangelo remains in a top-four role with power-play time. The 34-year-old blueliner has 22 points, 81 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Lights lamp on power play
Theodore scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Theodore's tally midway through the third period got the Golden Knights within a goal, but a late penalty eliminated their chances of finding an equalizer. The 29-year-old defenseman hadn't scored since Dec. 15 versus the Wild, but he racked up 10 assists over the 13 games between goals. For the season, he's at five tallies, 37 points (15 on the power play), 86 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 44 appearances.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Takes loss against Hurricanes
Hill stopped 25 of 28 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Hill has alternated wins and losses over his last six outings, and this was the fourth time in that span he's given up three goals. The 28-year-old isn't playing poorly, as the Golden Knights' offense has had some trouble giving him enough support. For the season, Hill is 18-8-2 with a 2.56 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 28 appearances. The Golden Knights complete their back-to-back with a game in Chicago on Saturday, which will likely be a start for Ilya Samsonov.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Manages assist Tuesday
Theodore provided an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Theodore has six helpers and a plus-4 rating over seven contests in January. The 29-year-old defenseman is in a 13-game goal drought, but he's hardly been quiet on offense while continuing to fill a top-four role with power-play duties. He's up to 36 points (14 on the power play), 81 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 43 appearances. Theodore has reached the 50-point mark just once in his career, largely due to lengthy injury absences or abbreviated seasons, but he could breeze by that mark if he stays healthy in 2024-25.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Dishes pair of assists
Olofsson logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Olofsson set up the first and third goals of Pavel Dorofeyev's natural hat trick. Their line with Tomas Hertl combined for seven points in the loss, and just two other Vegas skaters got on the scoresheet. This was Olofsson's first multi-point effort since Dec. 27 versus the Sharks. The 29-year-old winger has nine goals, seven assists, 53 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 23 appearances this season. With the Golden Knights' forward group now at full health, Olofsson is likely to be confined to the third line and second power-play unit until further injury issues arise.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Natural hat trick goes to waste
Dorofeyev scored three goals, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Dorofeyev was a one-man rally in this contest, but even a natural hat trick was too little to overcome what was once a 4-0 deficit. The winger has logged back-to-back three-point games following a stretch of 18 contests in which he was limited to a total of two goals and two assists. The 24-year-old now has career highs in goals (19) and points (27) while adding 130 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 44 appearances this season.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Takes second consecutive loss
Samsonov allowed four goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Samsonov has followed up a six-game winning streak by losing his last two starts. This was his ugliest outing recently -- he had given up no more than two goals in any of his last seven starts after surrendering six tallies in a Nov. 30 loss to Utah. Samsonov dropped to 11-5-1 with a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 17 starts this season. The Golden Knights' next two games are in a back-to-back, and based on the recent workload distribution, it's likely to be Adin Hill in goal Friday versus the Hurricanes, while Samsonov lines up to face the Blackhawks on Saturday to conclude Vegas' three-game road trip.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Set to return
Eichel (illness) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Predators, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
It looks like Eichel's absence will be limited to one game after he sat out Sunday against the Wild. The 28-year-old should resume his top-line role and retake his spot on the first power-play unit. Cole Schwindt is expected to exit the lineup.
