Story summary

Pavel Dorofeyev, the newly signed Rangers player on a $77 million contract, faced criticism from head coach Mike Sullivan after staying on the ice too long during a power play. Despite scoring just two goals in 11 games to start his Rangers career, Dorofeyev was temporarily demoted from the top power-play unit for not changing shifts strategically when needed. Though Sullivan's decision impacted the entire first unit, Dorofeyev took responsibility and admitted he needs to improve his timing on the ice. He has since returned to work with the primary man-advantage line in practice, showing willingness to address the issue.
