European Prospect Report: Jacob Olofsson on playing against Mattias Norlinder and his transition to the wing

Slowly but steadily, Olofsson is getting more and more minutes. His looks more comfortable as a winger for every game he plays. He sometimes ends up a bit too low, or too high in his defensive work, and that is where it is easiest to see that the transition to wing hasn’t been as smooth as one might have expected. None of the goals he was on the ice for this week were his fault. Defensive breakdowns between the defenders were at fault.

Olofsson was very honest when he offered his own assessment to Eyes On The Prize.
