Olofsson (lower-body) is week-to-week.

Olofsson has missed the last two games due to a lower-body injury and will likely miss several more. The 29-year-old Olofsson had started his tenure with the Golden Knights in a positive way, scoring three goals in his first four games. Pavel Dorofeyev has been the main benefactor in Olofsson's absence, finding himself on the top powerplay unit in Vegas.

Brendan Brisson is expected to draw into the lineup on Thursday if Olofsson (lower body) is unable to suit up. The 29-year-old Olofsson has started his tenure with the Golden Knights in a positive way, scoring three goals in his first four games.

Vegas has signed Victor Olofsson to a one-year, $1.075 million contract.

After scoring a career-best 28 goals in 2023, Olofsson fell out of favour in Buffalo in 2024, playing just 51 games. Olofsson's two-way game needs refining, but he is a solid middle-6 scoring winger who can also help out on the power play. After Vegas lost Marchessault, Stephenson, Amadio, Mantha, and Carrier, they needed some cheap upside on the wing.

Olofsson has been a healthy scratch for the previous four games but will draw back into the lineup on Monday vs. Tampa Bay as he takes the spot of Lukas Rousek. The 28-year-old has struggled all season, leading to his least productive season since joining the NHL in 2018-19, with seven goals, eight assists, 66 SOG and four PIMs in 50 games played.
