Buffalo Sabres Top 25 Under 25, #6: Victor Olofsson

Victor Olofsson is a name that, by now, most Sabres fans have heard of. The Swedish forward has been getting a lot of buzz in the hockey world as of late and had a noteworthy season with the Rochester Americans during 2018-2019 as the leading goal-scorer. It was his professional debut after playing in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) since 2013 and being drafted by the NHL in 2014.
