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.

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.

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.

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.

Olofsson (illness) missed Thursday's tilt versus Ottawa as a healthy scratch, Bill Hoppe of Buffalo Hockey Beat reports. Olofsson sat out two games with the flu, but he was well enough to play Thursday. Olofsson was a healthy scratch for a couple of games at the end of December and he has played only once in the Sabres' last six contests. Olofsson has four goals and eight assists in 31 games -- a huge regression from last season when he had 28 tallies in 75 contests.
