Olund scores first of season in return from concussion

Penguins forward prospect Linus Olund returned to Swedish Hockey League action for the first time in two weeks, and it didn't take him long to look comfortable again.

Olund, the Penguins' fifth-round pick in 2017, was injured by a high hit in Brynas IF's game on Oct. 3. He prematurely returned to the ice later in the game, and was diagnosed with a concussion the following day.

Olund returned to Brynas' lineup on Thursday after being forced to miss the previous three games. He returned to his spot centering Brynas' second line, and scored his first goal of the season 45 seconds into the second period to give Brynas a 2-0 lead over Oskarshamn:

The goal eventually became the game-winner in Brynas' 4-1 win.
