It was Olofsson's third goal in as many matches in the start of the NHL.
- Me and Rasmus Dahlin got plenty of time for us and finally we found the location for that direct shot. It was not a great shot, but the goalkeeper was obscured so the puck went in, ”Olofsson tells Aftonbladet.
24-year-old Olofsson was born in Örnsköldsvik and played with Modo until the 2016-17 season when he went to Frölunda for games for two seasons. He went to Buffalo last season and played six games. Most of the time he was in the Rochester Americans pharmaceutical team where there were 66 games. Formally, Olofsson is considered a rookie since he did under 25 games in the NHL last season. He leads an early rookie league.
Victor is called "Goalofsson"In overtime, "Goalofsson" - as Victor is already called in Buffalo - and his teammates, however, snubbed the victory.
- Although we were at that team at all, we can thank Linus Ullmark for. We did not play Sabers hockey at all in the first period, Linus games in the box kept us in the match, says Marcus Johansson, who himself scored his first goal for the new club at the beginning of the middle period.
Ullmark made 40 rescues.
- We have to reload and come again, dipping a little over the loss. It will be a new day tomorrow and there is nothing else you can do, Ullmark tells AP after his first start of the season.
Columbus rookie Emil Bemström scored his first point in the NHL by passing the 3-2 goal early in the third period. He left Djurgården last summer and played his second match in the NHL tonight.
