Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Assigned to AHL for conditioning
Olofsson (lower body) was assigned to AHL Henderson on a conditioning loan Monday.
Olofsson has been dealing with a lower-body injury for just over a month, and he was transferred to long-term injured reserve last week. However, he's now off injured reserve, per the NHL media site, and his conditioning assignment signals that he's likely getting closer to returning to game action for the Golden Knights. Over four appearances to begin the season, Olofsson tallied three goals, a hit and a blocked shot while averaging 15:03 of ice time.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Shifts to long-term IR
Olofsson was transferred to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Won't travel for upcoming road trip
Head coach Bruce Cassidy said Monday that Olofsson (lower body) won't travel with the Golden Knights during their upcoming road trip, which begins Wednesday in Anaheim, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Cassidy said that he thinks Olofsson has "turned a corner" in his recovery process, but he still needs time before he's in the mix to return to game action, and he'll be unavailable for at least three more games. A better idea of Olofsson's return timetable could come into focus once he gets back on the ice for practice and ramps up his activity level.

Olofsson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, according to the NHL media site.
Olofsson has missed the last four games with an injury he suffered against Washington on Oct. 15. The former Sabre got off to a successful start in 2024-25, netting three goals in his first four games with Vegas, but now he's considered week-to-week.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Deemed week-to-week
Olofsson (lower body) was labeled week-to-week by coach Bruce Cassidy on Monday.
Olofsson was supposed to be getting a fresh start in Vegas but once again finds himself headed for a stint on the sidelines. At minimum, the 29-year-old winger, who has already missed two games due to his lower-body injury, figures to be out of action for at least the next three matchups. Given his recovery timeline, Olofsson is a strong candidate for injured reserve if the Knights need the roster spot.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Tallies twice in win
Olofsson scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.
Olofsson offered a quick response to Mikko Rantanen's opening tally in the first period, then scored again late in the second. The latter goal was the game-winner. After six seasons in Buffalo, Olofsson is looking to get his career back on track in Vegas. He was limited to 15 points in 51 outings last season, but the Golden Knights appear willing to give him a spot on the first power-play unit, which has typically been a catalyst for his previous success. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he keeps that role, even though he's a middle-six forward at even strength with little in the way of non-scoring production.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Lands one-year contract
Olofsson signed a one-year, $1.075 million contract with Vegas on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Olofsson notched seven goals and 15 points in 51 regular-season outings for Buffalo in 2023-24 while averaging a career-low 11:34 of ice time per contest. He could bounce back in Vegas, but opportunities might be limited if he occupies a bottom-six spot in the lineup.

Sabres' Victor Olofsson: Lights lamp in return
Olofsson scored his fifth goal of the season in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Returning to the lineup for the first time since Feb. 15, Olofsson wired a shot over Ilya Samsonov's glove on the rush in the second period. The 28-year-old winger had missed the prior nine games with an illness, but he was having trouble staying out of the press box even before that. Olofsson's suited up for only 36 games this season, mainly skating in a bottom-six role and managing just 13 points, but the Casey Mittelstadt trade to Colorado could at least open up a consistent lineup spot for Olofsson now that he's healthy.

Sabres' Victor Olofsson: Returns to practice
Olofsson (illness) is expected to rejoin the Sabres on Sunday against the Hurricanes, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Olofsson had missed the Sabres' last four contests with an illness, though he was back at practice Sunday prior to a home matchup with Carolina. It's been a tough year for the 28-year-old Olofsson -- he has four goals and 12 points through 35 games while serving as a healthy scratch of late.

Sabres' Victor Olofsson: Dealing with illness
Olofsson (illness) won't accompany the Sabres on the team's upcoming two-game road trip, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
If Olofsson sits out the next two contests, his next opportunity to rejoin the lineup would be Sunday's home matchup against Carolina. The 28-year-old forward has been a healthy scratch for the past two games, so he may not return to action once he's back to 100 percent. Olofsson has four goals, 12 points and 46 shots on net over 35 appearances this season.
