VGK loses Dorofeyev to injury, loses to the Kings

VGK had several opportunities last night, but only scored once on a goal by defenseman Villiam Kmek. The Kings won the game 3-1, but there was concern for the team's leading goal scorer Pavel Dorofeyev, who left the game with a muscle strain or pull in the first period, according to Bruce Cassidy. Jack Eichel and Jeremy Lauzon have had similiar injuries in camp. The Golden Knights had several chances, but couldn't capitalize. Mark Stone and Reilly Smith hit the post. It was encouraging to see VGK put 10 shots on net on four power plays. We talk about Jack Eichel's contract extension, and an NHL Insider says the cost could be going up. And, VGK has shown interest in goalie Carter Hart according to one report.
