Olofsson only appeared in one game for the Kraken and had no counting stats across 14:57 TOI and has been reassigned to Coachella Valley (AHL) on Friday. The 29-year-old will return to the Firebirds, where he had a goal and eight points in 41 games prior to his previous call up.
Olofsson will provide depth on the blue-line for the Kraken, who could be without Vince Dunn (upper-body) and Ryker Evans (lower-body) when they take on the Ducks on Tuesday. Olofsson has 62 NHL games to his name dating as far back as the 2015-16 season but is yet to make his season debut.
Olofsson failed to pick up a point across three games with Seattle in 2022-23 but has six SOG and a +1 plus/minus and has signed a two-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 AAV at the NHL level. The 28-year-old defenseman has 11 assists through 62 career games played for three NHL teams in five seasons.
With the late scratch to Justin Schultz, Gustav Olofsson will draw back into the Kraken lineup for the second time this season. In his one game on Nov. 13th, he had two shots, was a +1 plus/minus on 10:14 TOI.
This will be Olofsson's second crack at the NHL this season after a short one-game stint with the Kraken earlier this season. He is getting the call due to Justin Schultz being placed on the injured reserve after putting up five assists, eight PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 15 games with Coachella (AHL) prior to his promotion.
With Jamie Oleksiak landing on IR on Thursday, Olofsson earned his first call-up of the season after picking up four assists in eight AHL games. The 27-year-old defenseman has 11 assists in 59 career NHL games with the Wild and Canadiens.
Olofsson signed with the Kraken last August, spending the entire season in the AHL. He had nine points (2G / 7A) in 41 games with Charlotte (AHL). Signing a two-way deal suggests he'll start 2022-23 in the AHL again.
Olofsson spent most of the 2019-20 season in the AHL, where he racked up 16 points (1G / 15A) in 57 games with Laval. He failed to record a point in three games with Montreal. The 25-year-old blueliner has 11 assists in 59 career NHL games with the Wild and Canadiens.
Olofsson appeared in three games with the Canadiens during his call-up but heads back to the AHL where he has seven assists in 20 games with Laval this season.
Olofsson was recently called up from Laval (AHL) after collecting seven assists in 20 games. Olofsson has appeared in 56 career NHL games (all with Minnesota) since being drafted in the second-round in 2013. Olofsson will replace Brett Kulak on the Canadiens' third-pair.
Olofsson was originally selected in the second-round in 2013 and ended up with Montreal after spending the first four years of his career the Wild’s organization. Olofsson had eight assists in 41 games with Minnesota last season and had one assist in just two games with Laval (AHL).
Olofsson was originally a second-round pick in 2013, but never really found his footing in Minnesota, playing a career-high of just 41 games. He will likely serve a similar seventh defenseman role in Montreal.
Olofsson was in the lineup for the last three games, but he will be scratched tonight with Nick Seeler (biceps) returning to the lineup. Olofsson is still searching for his first goal of the 2017-18 season.
Olofsson was a healthy scratch for the last two games but he will draw back in tonight in St. Louis. Olofsson brings very little offence to the table, having collected just two assists in 28 games this season.
Olofsson sat as a healthy scratch in the season opener in Detroit, but with Mikael Granlund battling an undisclosed injury he will draw in as a seventh defenseman tonight in Carolina. The 22-year-old blueliner had three assists in 13 games with Minnesota last season, but spent most of the year in Iowa (AHL) where he amassed 24 points (6G / 18A) across 59 contests.
Olofsson spent the majority of last year in Iowa (AHL), where he amassed 24 points (6G / 18A) in 59 games. Olofosson has good size (6-foot-3 / 197 lbs) and his offensive game is improving, making him an up-and-coming two-way defenseman. This is a one-year deal and with the Wild cutting ties with Christian Folin, Olofsson will likely be in Minnesota from Day 1 this year.
