Whether you are planning on buying a Victor Olofsson jersey wholesale for the upcoming season or not, there are several important things you should keep in mind before you make your purchase. These tips can help you make the right decision.

Re-signing to a two-year, AAV $4.75 million deal

During his first three seasons in the NHL, Victor Olofsson was an exciting young talent. He has recorded 55 goals and 127 points in 188 career games. He is one of four players in Buffalo’s top six forward corps. He will be used often on the Sabres’ power play.

His scoring was particularly strong in the second half of the season. His two goals came on February 15 against the New York Islanders, after a 3.5-month drought. In the 34 games he played after that, he scored 13 more.

Olofsson, who turns 27 next week, was drafted by the Sabres in the seventh round of the 2014 NHL Draft. He is expected to remain in the Sabres’ top-six forwards as a right winger. He was an important part of the Sabres’ power play last season, ranking fourth in team power-play points. He tied for 18th in the NHL with 27 power-play goals.

His goals last year included four game-winning goals. Olofsson was named NHL Rookie of the Month in October, and had eight assists in the same period. He ranked fourth on the Sabres with 29 assists. He finished the season with 20 goals and 42 points in 54 games.

Vancouver Canucks vs Buffalo Sabres

During the Buffalo Sabres 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, the team rolled the dummy to the tune of three goals, but it was the performance of Victor Olofsson’s jersey that caught everyone’s attention. He led the Sabres in scoring with four goals and two assists.

The Sabres were missing a few key pieces of the puzzle, however, including star forward Quinn Hughes. They also lost defenseman Henri Jokiharju to injury. With less than four minutes to go, the Canucks sprung the surprise by going to an extra attacker, and in less than two minutes, they took advantage of their extra man to score. The goal amounted to the same as the one they scored in the first period, but it was made all the more impressive by the fact that it came on the second of two power plays.

It was an uphill battle for the Sabres, who managed to find the back of the net for the first time in three games since November. They had their own impressive score, though, as Victor Olofsson’s two goals helped them regain the two-goal lead in the third period.

Changing his number from 68 to 71

Changing Victor Olofsson’s number from 68 to 71 is an interesting move for the Buffalo Sabres. In the past, OG Sabres like Jochen Hecht, Evan Rodrigues, and Derek Whitmore have wore the number.

The Swedish forward is coming off an impressive season, in which he scored 20 goals and 49 points. After a mediocre November, he’s been hot down the stretch. He’s accumulated eight goals and 19 points over his last 14 games. He’s now one point away from his first career 50-point campaign.

While he’s been a solid top-six forward, his role hasn’t been consistent. Often, he’s been placed on the third line. But since he returned from an injury last month, he’s stepped into a playmaker role. He’s logged three straight multi-point games, and he’s a strong candidate for the Calder Memorial Trophy.

He’s been a plus-3 in his last six games, and has five power-play assists. That’s not too bad, as he has more than a dozen shots on net in those games.
