Nets pair of goals in win Olofsson scored twice and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Olofsson tied the game at 1-1 with a power-play tally in the first period and added an even-strength goal early in the second to give the Avalanche their first lead of the contest. The 30-year-old winger had gone two games without a point following his five-point eruption against the Devils last Tuesday. Olofsson is at five goals, seven assists, 42 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 14 appearances. As long as he stays on the Avalanche's top power-play unit, he represents an excellent offense-only option in fantasy, though he may not be the most consistent player available.

Impact Olofsson has yet to do what he does best -- score goals -- but he has amassed three assists in five games with the Avalanche. He's playing in a third-line role, which is likely to suppress his offense, but there hasn't been an opportunity for him to move into the top six yet. Olofsson has added 14 shots on net, two hits and a plus-1 rating while averaging 12:47 of ice time.

Links up with Colorado Olofsson signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Avalanche on Tuesday, per Hockey Mountain High.

Impact Olofsson's deal comes in under the $1.075 million cap hit he secured with Vegas last season. Still, the 30-year-old winger provides the Avalanche with a veteran middle-six option. He's unlikely to be a big factor in fantasy initially, but if Colorado has poor injury luck again, Olofsson could find himself in a top-six role at times throughout 2025-26.

Three-point burst in loss Olofsson scored two power-play goals on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 2.

Impact Olofsson played a massive role in the Golden Knights' offense, but it still wasn't enough. His goals were his first playoff tallies in his career. The 29-year-old winger is at four points, 11 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating over six playoff appearances. Given his success in Game 2, it's unlikely he'll be exiting the lineup if the Golden Knights change their forward units for Game 3 in Edmonton on Saturday.
