Chicago Blackhawks forward prospect Fredrik Olofsson will return to the University of Nebraska Omaha for his senior season, he told Scott Powers of The Athletic on Monday.
Olofsson, a fourth-round pick by Chicago in 2014, scored six goals with 14 assists in 33 games during his junior season for the Mavericks. The left winger, who will turn 22 in May, told Powers that he wasn’t offered an entry-level contract by the Blackhawks after his season ended.
Head coach Mike Gabinet led the Mavericks to a 17-17-2 record during his first season behind the bench.
