Vegas Golden Knights forward Pavel Dorofeyev will travel with the team to Edmonton with a chance to play.
The 24-year-old winger has been injured since Game 5 of round one against the Minnesota Wild and has been slowly working his way back to full health. In five playoff games, he's scored one goal and two points.
"He's going to travel. He skated this morning and is doing much better. He has a chance for tomorrow with the news we got today. So that's encouraging," said HC Bruce Cassidy.
In his absence, Victor Olofsson has stepped into the lineup, recording two power play goals in a losing effort in Game 2.
Currently, Dorofeyev's injury is undisclosed, which has made it difficult for people outside of the team to understand the extent of the injury.
Dorofeyev's possible return comes at an important time. Including the fact that they trail the Oilers 2-0 in the series, the team might be without Nicolas Roy, who will have a hearing tonight for his cross-check to Trent Frederic's face.
