Victor Olofsson News
Buffalo Sabres winger Victor Olofsson will come out of the lineup as a healthy scratch Tuesday versus Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old has had a slow start to the new campaign, going scoreless in two games with only one shot on goal, and will now get a chance to reset. Tyson Jost will take Olofsson's spot in the lineup, joining the fourth line, while Peyton Krebs is set to replace the Swedish forward on the second power-play unit.
Buffalo Sabres winger Victor Olofsson looks set to remain with the team for the start of the season despite being in trade rumors all summer. The 28-year-old is starting the final season of his contract and his long-term future looks to be elsewhere, but Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News has noted that the Sabres are unlikely to trade Olofsson until late December or January because Jack Quinn (Achilles) won't be available at the start of the campaign. Olofsson exploded for a career-high 28 goals last season, adding 12 assists in 75 games. He's been a big threat on the power play and has tallied 83 goals and 167 points overall in 263 career games.
Buffalo Sabres right wing Victor Olofsson took care of both goals in the team's 5-2 loss to Philadelphia on Friday. The 27-year-old was back in the lineup after sitting out two games as a healthy scratch and struck twice on the power play in the third period. Olofsson is having a career year in front of the net, with him scoring 26 goals in 66 games, but his play in even-strength situations has been seriously lacking and that's the reason why he was kept out of the lineup for a pair of games. The Swedish forward has an awful minus-23 rating for the season. He's also been quiet in the assists department, helping to set up only nine assists.
Buffalo Sabres winger Victor Olofsson will move to the top line for Saturday's meeting with Philadelphia. Alex Tuch is dropping down to the second line, which will also feature Peyton Krebs following a shakeup. Olofsson recently had a nice three-game goal streak and he's impressed lately, averaging a point per game for the month. The Swedish sniper boasts 18 goals and 41 points in total for the season in 66 games. He's a very tempting fantasy piece for the next few games, with Buffalo playing a home-and-home set against Philadelphia over the weekend and starting next week's action against New Jersey.
