Olofsson Piles Up Three Points as Vegas Beats Utah
A power-play goal in the second period and a pair of even-strength assists send the Golden Knights past the Mammoth at home.
Victor Olofsson had a three-point night in a 5-3 Vegas win over Utah: one goal and two assists, a plus 1, and six shots on goal in 17:30 of ice time.
That ice time ranked eighth among the 18 Golden Knights skaters and fifth among the team's 12 forwards, so he was not the team leader in minutes. His production came in two ways. The goal was on the power play, early in the second period, and it was one of two power-play shots he took. Both assists came at even strength, where he also put four shots on net.
It was a step up from his usual workload. He averages 13.9 minutes a game this season, and he came in with five goals and four assists in seven games. Three points in one night moves him to six goals and six assists. He also had one giveaway and no hits or blocks.
Vegas improved to 12-5-2 and has won three straight.
