Victor Olofsson is finding his footing with the Vegas Golden Knights as he gears up for his first NHL playoff experience. Scoring a key late goal against the Vancouver Canucks in a 3-2 victory, he expressed excitement for the playoffs, signaling his readiness for the challenge ahead. The Golden Knights have secured their playoff spot and are vying for the top position in the Pacific Division, holding a solid five-point lead over the L.A. Kings.

During his time with the Knights, Olofsson has reached personal milestones, including 100 assists, 100 goals, and 200 points. Despite earlier struggles with only three assists in 20 games, he has bounced back recently, notching three goals and two assists in his last six games. Coach Bruce Cassidy emphasizes the need for Olofsson to embrace his role as a shooter on his line, which includes William Karlsson and Reilly Smith, as they become increasingly dangerous in the offensive zone.
