Laval Rocket season review: Gustav Olofsson is a jack of all trades

When Gustav Olofsson arrived in Montreal the previous summer he was still recovering from shoulder surgery. He made it through a game-and-a-half before re-injuring his shoulder and sitting out for the rest of the year. So, coming into the 2019-20 season, it was hard to get a gauge on just what Olofsson brought to the table for the Laval Rocket. This season went much better for the Swedish defender, as he stayed healthy for the full season and even got a short NHL look as well. Over the course of the season, Olofsson became Joël Bouchard’s “jack of all trades” piece on the back end, able to be deployed in multiple situations at any given time.
