Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Tallies twice in win
Victor Olofsson scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.Olofsson offered a quick response to Mikko Rantanen's opening tally in the first period, then scored again late in the second. The latter goal was the game-winner. After six seasons in Buffalo, Olofsson is looking to get his career back on track in Vegas. He was limited to 15 points in 51 outings last season, but the Vegas Golden Knights appear willing to give him a spot on the first power-play unit, which has typically been a catalyst for his previous success. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he keeps that role, even though he's a middle-six forward at even strength with little in the way of non-scoring production.

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.
