Oskar Olausson - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Sent to minors Olausson was reassigned to the Colorado Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Olausson will now develop his game at the AHL level and be a key player for the Colorado Eagles. The 21-year-old was a first-round pick by the Avalanche in the 2021 NHL Draft, but he's only appeared in two games at the professional level. The Sweden native banked 20 points in 39 regular-season outings with AHL Colorado in 2023-24.

Skating with teammates Olausson (shoulder) was on the ice for an informal workout ahead of training camp, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports Thursday.

Impact Olausson underwent shoulder surgery back in February, which ended his 2023-24 campaign. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick saw action in just 39 minor-league contests with the Eagles in which he generated 11 goals and nine helpers. In addition, Olausson managed only one NHL outing against Anaheim on Dec. 5, recording two shots, two hits and two blocks in 11:50 of ice time. Even with Olausson fully fit, he will face an uphill battle during camp to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster.

Done for season Olausson will have shoulder surgery Monday and miss the remainder of the season as a result.

Impact Olausson has 11 goals and 20 points in 39 contests with AHL Colorado in 2023-24. The 21-year-old was selected with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. Olausson should get a long look during the Avalanche's 2024 training camp, provided he's healthy in time for it, but the forward will likely start 2024-25 back in the minors.

Assigned to AHL affiliate Olausson was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.

Impact Olausson's demotion indicates Andrew Cogliano (lower body) or Valeri Nichushkin (illness) could be ready to return to the lineup Thursday against Winnipeg. The 2021 first-round pick made his NHL debut Tuesday against Anaheim, picking up two shots and two blocks in 11:50 of ice time.

Makes season debut Olausson had two shots on net, two blocked shots and one hit over 11:50 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Anaheim.

Impact Olausson was called up amid a rash of players scratched due to injury (Andrew Cogliano and Cale Makar) or illness (Valeri Nichushkin). He skated with Ross Colton and Mikko Rantanen on a night when head coach Jared Bednar blenderized the lines. Olausson's stay in the NHL could be a short one, if Nichushkin is over his illness by Thursday, when the Avalanche host the Jets. However, Colorado lost defenseman Bowen Byram to an upper-body injury during the second period, which could impact Olausson. Hybrid forward/defenseman Kurtis MacDermid, who was active and scored a goal as a forward Tuesday, could be needed on the blueline if neither Byram nor Makar are ready to go Thursday.

Summoned from AHL Olausson was brought up from AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Tallies Monday OIausson scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 preseason win over Vegas.

Impact Olausson finished off a play with nifty stick handling before slipping the puck through the five-hole on Logan Thompson. The 21-year-old forward made an impression on head coach Jared Bednar. "The first thing I noticed when we got into main camp was the explosiveness," the coach said. "He's bigger, stronger, faster. He's a smart hockey player, obviously has some offensive upside, still coming into his game, but his explosiveness and his skating this year is much improved." Olausson, a first-round draft pick in 2021, had 11 goals and nine assists over 63 games for AHL Colorado in 2022-23.
