The Buffalo Sabres have had trouble scoring goals for what feels like much of the 2018-2019 season. Aside from the top line of Skinner - Eichel - Pominville/Reinhart, the team’s lack of depth scoring has been well documented. The chorus of Sabres fans clamoring for help from Victor Olofsson - who led the SHL in goals last season before making his debut with the Rochester Americans in October 2018 - has grown ever louder.
Olofsson’s North American career started off with a bang, as he put up seven points in three games and was awarded CCM AHL Player of the Week honors in just the second week of the season.
