CALGARY - Victor Olofsson is maximizing his fresh start with the Calgary Flames. The Swedish winger netted the game-winning goal in a 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers, marking his first score since being traded from the Colorado Avalanche.
Moved in the deal sending Nazem Kadri to Colorado, Olofsson transitioned from the league's top team to a Calgary squad fighting for standings position. Head Coach Ryan Huska praised the veteran's immediate integration and offensive contribution.
Now a free agent pending summer negotiations, Olofsson aims to boost his value while stabilizing Calgary's offense. The Flames have gone .500 since the trade deadline, citing seamless chemistry with new veteran additions.
