Denver, Colorado – The Colorado Avalanche have strengthened their offensive line by securing the signing of Victor Olofsson, a one-year deal that promises to bring depth and experience to the team.
Olofsson, 30 years old, joins the team after his time with the Vegas Golden Knights, where he proved to be a consistent player during the last season.

Selected in the seventh round of the 2014 draft by Buffalo, Olofsson has accumulated a total of 105 goals and 106 assists in 370 games played with the Sabres and the Golden Knights.
Last season, Olofsson reached two significant milestones in his career: his 100th assist on January 17th and his 100th goal the following day.
With a height of 5 feet 11 inches and a weight of 180 pounds, Olofsson was included in the rookie team of the 2019-20 season.
