Sabres' Victor Olofsson: Lights lamp in return
Victor 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.

Sabres' Victor Olofsson: Buries penalty shot
Victor Olofsson scored on a penalty shot in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.Olofsson was tripped by Jeremy Lauzon on a scoring chance just over halfway through the second period. The goal was Olofsson's first in nine games, though he had a trio of two-assist efforts in that span to remain moderately productive in a bottom-six role.
