Golden Knights To Sign Victor Olofsson

According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, the Vegas Golden Knights are signing winger Victor Olofsson. Olofsson played for the Golden Knights through the 2024-25 season.

The deal would mark a reunion for Olofsson, who spent the 2024-25 season in Vegas, producing 15 goals and 29 points in 56 games while posting a career-best plus-17 rating. He departed as a free agent last summer and spent 2025-26 elsewhere, signing with Colorado before a March trade sent him to Calgary as part of the Nazem Kadri deal. Between the two stops, he recorded 13 goals and 31 points in 74 games.

Olofsson, 30, is a Swedish winger best known as a power-play specialist with a dangerous one-timer, a shot that earned him the “Goalofsson” nickname during his Buffalo days. He spent his first six NHL seasons with the Sabres, where he set a career high with 49 points in 2021-22 and scored 28 goals the following year, one of three 20-goal campaigns in his career.

There is a known comfort level between Olofsson and Vegas, and the Golden Knights will certainly rely on him to make up for lost production after they traded Pavel Dorofeyev to the Rangers last week. The ability is there, and if he is able to stay healthy, this is a low-risk, high-reward signing for a team in a bit of a cap crunch.
