Well, it finally happened. After months of waiting, on Wednesday afternoon, the Buffalo Sabres announced that forward, Victor Olofsson had been recalled from the Rochester Amerks.
In his first full season of North American action, the 23-year-old sniper currently leads the Amerks in both goals and total points with 27 and 60, respectively. His point total puts him in a five-way tie for fifth most in the AHL this season. He’s also the team’s leading power-play threat with 23 points on the man-advantage.
It’s no secret that the Sabres have sorely lacked scoring depth on the wing this season.
