Winners of five of their first six games this season, the Buffalo Sabres are off to a better start than virtually anyone in the hockey world have predicted. Ralph Kruger’s new system has drawn rave reviews while several players (both incumbents and newcomers) are exceeding expectations. One such player is rookie forward, Victor Olofsson who broke an NHL-record this week, registering his seventh straight goal on the power-play to start his NHL career (dating back to the end of last season).
During the 2018-19 campaign with the Rochester Amerks (his first full season on North American ice), Olofsson was spectacular, scoring a team-best 63 points in 66 games.
