Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Pots pair of goals Friday
Rotowire
Olofsson scored twice on four shots and added a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Olofsson ended a nine-game point drought and 20-game goal drought when he put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the second period. That lead didn't last, but he added the equalizer at 2:06 of the third to even things up at 3-3. The 29-year-old winger has had positive moments this season, but he's done little while limited to bottom-six minutes recently. He's up to 13 goals, 24 points, 85 shots on net and a plus-14 rating across 48 appearances.

Rotowire
Olofsson (lower body) is warming up ahead of Sunday's game against the Kings, indicating that he'll be available for the matchup, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Olofsson missed Friday's win over Pittsburgh and was considered a game-time decision for Sunday. However, he's been cleared to return following a one-game absence. The 29-year-old has recorded points in three of his last seven appearances, logging three assists, four hits and a blocked shot while averaging 12:28 of ice time in that span.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Status uncertain for Sunday
Rotowire
Olofsson (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's home game against the Kings, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Olofsson sat out Friday's 4-0 win over Pittsburgh. Reilly Smith, acquired from the Rangers on Thursday, slotted in on the fourth line because of Olofsson's absence. If Olofsson doesn't play in Sunday's contest, his next chance to return to game action will come Tuesday in Pittsburgh at the start of Vegas' four-game road trip.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Unavailable Friday
Rotowire
Olofsson will miss Friday's clash against Pittsburgh due to a lower-body injury, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Olofsson isn't expected to miss much time, so perhaps he'll be an option Sunday versus the Kings. The 29-year-old has 11 goals and 22 points in 40 appearances with Vegas in 2024-25. Cole Schwindt (lower body) might draw back into the lineup for the first time since Jan. 18, but he's regarded as a game-time decision. If Schwindt is unavailable too, then the Golden Knights might dress seven defensemen.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Grabs power-play helper
Rotowire
Olofsson logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.
Olofsson has three helpers over his last five games, but this was his first power-play point since his Jan. 7 goal versus the Sharks. The 29-year-old was down on the second line Thursday after playing the previous two games in a top-line role. Olofsson has 22 points (seven on the power play), 73 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 38 appearances this season. He hasn't been an elite scorer, but he's produced enough offense to be worth a look in fantasy formats that don't require too much category coverage.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Sends assist Saturday
Rotowire
Olofsson logged an assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Olofsson has two helpers over his last three contests. The game in between those assists saw Olofsson leave with an injury after just 33 seconds of ice time, but he was able to heal up during the two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. The Swedish winger is up to 11 goals, 10 assists, 70 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 36 appearances this season. Olofsson has a little fantasy value as an offense-only option as long as he stays on the top line at even strength, though any slip from the Golden Knights could see Mark Stone retake that spot.

Rotowire
Olofsson won't return to Saturday's clash against Boston because of an upper-body injury, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Vegas is off until Feb. 22 because of the 4 Nations Face-Off, so Olofsson will have plenty of time to rest before he's in danger of missing further games.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Gathers helper Thursday
Rotowire
Olofsson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
Olofsson snapped a six-game point drought with the assist on Shea Theodore's second-period tally. While he's seen top-line minutes at even strength recently, Olofsson hasn't cashed in on the opportunity, leaving the door open for Mark Stone to return to that role eventually. Olofsson has 20 points, 65 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 34 appearances, production that makes him a good fit for the middle six.

This goal extended his point streak to three contests, a span in which he's recorded one goal and three assists.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Lends helper Friday
Rotowire
Olofsson recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Olofsson has three helpers over his last two contests. He assisted on a Tomas Hertl tally in the second period of Friday's game. The 29-year-old Olofsson continues to impress in a middle-six role, racking up 17 points, 53 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 24 appearances. He's earned seven points and nine blocks over 10 outings since the holiday break, but it's unclear if the increased defensive work is a blip on the radar or a more permanent change in his playing style.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Dishes pair of assists
Rotowire
Olofsson logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Olofsson set up the first and third goals of Pavel Dorofeyev's natural hat trick. Their line with Tomas Hertl combined for seven points in the loss, and just two other Vegas skaters got on the scoresheet. This was Olofsson's first multi-point effort since Dec. 27 versus the Sharks. The 29-year-old winger has nine goals, seven assists, 53 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 23 appearances this season. With the Golden Knights' forward group now at full health, Olofsson is likely to be confined to the third line and second power-play unit until further injury issues arise.

Olofsson missed Saturday's game against the Sabres due to an illness, but he practiced Monday and was back in the lineup Tuesday.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Back at practice
Rotowire
Olofsson (illness) participated in Monday's practice, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Olofsson should be available to play versus San Jose on Tuesday after missing Saturday's 3-1 win over Buffalo. He has produced eight goals, 13 points and 40 shots on net across 18 appearances this season. Olofsson will probably replace Tanner Laczynski in Tuesday's lineup after the latter returned to AHL Henderson on Sunday.

Olofsson (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Sabres.
Olofsson will miss at least one game while under the weather, and it happens to be against his former team. The 29-year-old has 13 points over 18 appearances this season, so it's a notable forward absence for the Golden Knights. Tanner Laczynski is expected to be in the lineup Saturday.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Tallies on power play
Rotowire
Olofsson scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked four shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flames.
Olofsson continued his strong run of offense and also made a rare contribution in his own zone. The winger has five goals and three helpers over his last eight outings, and three of those tallies have come on the power play. For the season, he has eight goals, 13 points, 37 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 16 appearances. Prior to Sunday, he had blocked a total of three shots all season, so don't expect many physical contributions moving forward.

Rotowire

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Produces assist in win
Rotowire
Olofsson notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Olofsson has four goals and three assists over his last seven contests. The 29-year-old winger has worked his way into a top-six role at even strength, though he could be on the outs for that spot after seeing just 11:05 of ice time Saturday. Olofsson has been productive in 2024-25 with 10 points, 28 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 13 appearances. He's a scoring-only option, but he's done enough of that to be considered in deeper fantasy formats.
