Oskar Olausson - NHL News & Rumors

Hitting free-agent market Olausson was not tendered a qualifying offer from Minnesota on Monday, PuckPedia reports.

Impact Olausson is now an unrestricted free agent, so he can sign with any team July 1. The Swedish winger contributed 12 goals and 29 points across 63 appearances with AHL Iowa this past season. The No. 28 overall pick in 2021 has just four games of NHL experience to his name.

Scores both goals in AHL loss Olausson scored twice in AHL Iowa's 3-2 loss to Toronto on Friday.

Impact Olausson is up to six goals and 14 points through 31 outings this season. That's in line with his 26 points in 61 games with AHL Colorado during the 2024-25 regular season. Olausson hasn't been called upon when the Wild have had injuries at forward, so his chances of getting a call-up appear slim.

Two points in Iowa debut Olausson scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Iowa's 3-1 win over Texas on Friday.

Impact Olausson was trade to the Wild organization from the Sharks last Friday. This was his debut with Iowa, and he made a great first impression. The 22-year-old has yet to really emerge as a scoring threat in the AHL, failing to log more than 30 points in any of his first three regular seasons in the league.

The Minnesota Wild have acquired forward Oskar Olausson from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenseman Kyle Masters

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Dealt to Minnesota Olausson was traded from San Jose to Minnesota on Friday for Kyle Masters.

Impact Olausson had yet to play for AHL San Jose this season. The former first-round pick, 28th overall in 2021, had 11 goals and 15 assists across 61 regular-season games with AHL Colorado last season. He has played in four NHL contests over three seasons and has not hit the scoresheet.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by club Olausson landed on the waiver wire Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

Impact Even with the youth movement being in full force for the Sharks, the 22-year-old Olausson doesn't seem NHL-ready at this point in his career. The 22-year-old winger suited up in 61 regular-season games for AHL Colorado last year, notching 11 goals and 15 helpers before adding three assists in seven playoff tilts. While Olausson should see some minutes of NHL action this year, he is unlikely to play enough to make him much of a fantasy target.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Acquired from Avs Olausson was acquired in a one-for-one trade with the Avalanche in exchange for Danil Guschin, the team announced Friday.

Impact Olausson had 11 goals and 15 assists in 61 regular-season games with AHL Colorado last season, and he also recorded three assists in seven postseason games. The 22-year-old will get a change of scenery via this trade and will likely start the 2025-26 season in the minors with the Sharks organization. He has four career NHL games, including two with the Avalanche last season, in his young career.

MAY 27, 2025 • DENVERPOST.COM

Sent back down Olausson was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Olausson has played in the last two games, but he hasn't recorded a point. The 22-year-old's demotion could be a paper transaction, as the Avalanche's injured forwards have not been deemed close to returning yet.

JANUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets call-up Wednesday Olausson was called up from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact Olausson has managed just 10 points over 27 appearances at the AHL level this season. The winger's call-up suggests Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) won't be available to play Thursday versus the Sabres. Olausson will likely play in a bottom-six role if he draws into the lineup.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors Olausson was reassigned to the Colorado Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Olausson will now develop his game at the AHL level and be a key player for the Colorado Eagles. The 21-year-old was a first-round pick by the Avalanche in the 2021 NHL Draft, but he's only appeared in two games at the professional level. The Sweden native banked 20 points in 39 regular-season outings with AHL Colorado in 2023-24.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Skating with teammates Olausson (shoulder) was on the ice for an informal workout ahead of training camp, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports Thursday.

Impact Olausson underwent shoulder surgery back in February, which ended his 2023-24 campaign. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick saw action in just 39 minor-league contests with the Eagles in which he generated 11 goals and nine helpers. In addition, Olausson managed only one NHL outing against Anaheim on Dec. 5, recording two shots, two hits and two blocks in 11:50 of ice time. Even with Olausson fully fit, he will face an uphill battle during camp to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Done for season Olausson will have shoulder surgery Monday and miss the remainder of the season as a result.

Impact Olausson has 11 goals and 20 points in 39 contests with AHL Colorado in 2023-24. The 21-year-old was selected with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. Olausson should get a long look during the Avalanche's 2024 training camp, provided he's healthy in time for it, but the forward will likely start 2024-25 back in the minors.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to AHL affiliate Olausson was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.

Impact Olausson's demotion indicates Andrew Cogliano (lower body) or Valeri Nichushkin (illness) could be ready to return to the lineup Thursday against Winnipeg. The 2021 first-round pick made his NHL debut Tuesday against Anaheim, picking up two shots and two blocks in 11:50 of ice time.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes season debut Olausson had two shots on net, two blocked shots and one hit over 11:50 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Anaheim.

Impact Olausson was called up amid a rash of players scratched due to injury (Andrew Cogliano and Cale Makar) or illness (Valeri Nichushkin). He skated with Ross Colton and Mikko Rantanen on a night when head coach Jared Bednar blenderized the lines. Olausson's stay in the NHL could be a short one, if Nichushkin is over his illness by Thursday, when the Avalanche host the Jets. However, Colorado lost defenseman Bowen Byram to an upper-body injury during the second period, which could impact Olausson. Hybrid forward/defenseman Kurtis MacDermid, who was active and scored a goal as a forward Tuesday, could be needed on the blueline if neither Byram nor Makar are ready to go Thursday.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Olausson was brought up from AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Olausson has notched five goals and eight points in 20 AHL contests this campaign. He could get a chance to make his season debut Tuesday versus Anaheim.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies Monday OIausson scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 preseason win over Vegas.

Impact Olausson finished off a play with nifty stick handling before slipping the puck through the five-hole on Logan Thompson. The 21-year-old forward made an impression on head coach Jared Bednar. "The first thing I noticed when we got into main camp was the explosiveness," the coach said. "He's bigger, stronger, faster. He's a smart hockey player, obviously has some offensive upside, still coming into his game, but his explosiveness and his skating this year is much improved." Olausson, a first-round draft pick in 2021, had 11 goals and nine assists over 63 games for AHL Colorado in 2022-23.
