Pots pair of goals Friday Olofsson scored twice on four shots and added a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Status uncertain for Sunday 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.

Impact Olofsson sat out Friday's 4-0 win over Pittsburgh due to his lower-body injury. Reilly Smith, who was acquired from the Rangers on Thursday, slotted in on the fourth line in place of Olofsson on Friday. Olofsson's next chance to return to game action will come Tuesday in Pittsburgh, when the Golden Knights kick off a four-game road trip.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Friday Olofsson will miss Friday's clash against Pittsburgh due to a lower-body injury, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Impact 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.

Grabs power-play helper Olofsson logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact 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.

Sends assist Saturday Olofsson logged an assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact 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.

Set to play Olofsson (upper body) is expected to play against Vancouver on Saturday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Impact Olofsson won't miss any additional playing time after leaving the team's 4-3 win over Boston on Feb. 8. He has compiled 11 goals, 20 points and 65 shots on net in 35 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers upper-body injury 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.

Impact Olofsson logged just one shift before he had to exit the game. He entered Saturday's action with 11 goals and 20 points in 34 appearances in 2024-25. 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.

Gathers helper Thursday Olofsson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.

Impact 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.

Impact Olofsson potted an even-strength goal at 8:54 of the first period to give Vegas a 2-0 lead. After being held to one point over the first five games of January, the Swedish winger has generated two goals and three assists over his last five outings. Overall, Olofsson is up to 11 goals, eight helpers and a plus-9 rating through 27 appearances while filling a middle-six role in addition to a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit.

Scores goal vs. Chicago Olofsson scored a goal and took two shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Olofsson found the back of the net for the first time since Jan.7, when he netted a goal in a 4-2 win over the Sharks. This goal allowed him to extend his point streak to three contests, a span in which he's recorded one goal and three assists. The 29-year-old winger has been limited to 25 appearances this season, but he's been productive when available due to his 10 goals and 18 total points in that span.

Lends helper Friday Olofsson recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact 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.
