Victor Olofsson

Victor Olofsson is a Swedish winger born in 1995. Selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the seventh round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, he developed through Swedish professional hockey before reaching the NHL. His early career included time in the SHL, where he established himself as a productive scorer, and the American Hockey League before he became a regular NHL player.

Olofsson made his NHL debut with Buffalo during the 2018-19 season and became a regular part of the Sabres' attack the following year. He has recorded NHL goals on the power play and has played primarily as a winger. Fellow Swedish forward William Karlsson reached the NHL by a similar route through Swedish professional hockey. Olofsson's career reflects the path of a late-round pick who earned an NHL opportunity through sustained production in European and North American professional hockey.
