European Prospect Report: Jacob Olofsson shines in his return from injury

After having spent two weeks on the sidelines, it was a pumped-up Jacob Olofsson who took to the ice. There was no sign of any lingering effects from the hit into the boards that put him out of commission, as in his first game back he put up two assists.

Henrik Törnqvist had an awful lot to do, but it was Olofsson’s vision and pass that really opened up the ice before the goal. It was Olofsson’s first SHL point, and he wasn’t satisfied.

Again thanks to his vision, he looks for the puck even before it is passed to him and he knows exactly what to do with it as he passes it to Ludvig Rensfeldt, who has an open net.
