DENVER – The Colorado Avalanche bolster their offensive line with the addition of Victor Olofsson, after signing a one-year contract.
Olofsson, 30 years old, played last season with the Vegas Golden Knights, where he accumulated 15 goals and 14 assists in 56 games.
The player set a record in Golden Knights history by scoring points in 10 consecutive games, between December 4 and January 23.
In his first experience in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Olofsson scored two goals, with his team reaching the second round.
Selected in the seventh round by Buffalo in 2014, Olofsson has accumulated 105 goals and 106 assists in 370 games, playing for the Sabres and the Golden Knights.
Last season, he reached two significant milestones: his 100th appearance on January 17th and his 100th goal the following day.
Olofsson, at 5’11” and 180 pounds, was part of the 2019-20 season’s rookie team.
Before playing in North America, Olofsson competed in the Swedish Hockey League during the 2013-18 seasons.
Furthermore, he was part of the Swedish team at the IIHF World Championship in 2021 and 2024, contributing to the team’s bronze medal last year.
