Returning Saturday Olofsson (lower body) will be in the lineup versus Utah on Saturday.

Won't return Friday Olofsson (lower body), who returned from his conditioning loan with AHL Henderson on Friday, won't play in this evening's game against Winnipeg, Jesse Granger of The Athletic repor...

Impact Olofsson is getting close to being an option for Vegas but isn't quite ready yet. He has three goals in four appearances with the Golden Knights in 2024-25. The 29-year-old didn't log a game with Henderson during his conditioning stint.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Back from conditioning loan Olofsson (lower body) returned from AHL Henderson on Friday because he's completed his conditioning loan, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Impact Olofsson hasn't played in the NHL since Oct. 15 due to the injury. Although he was sent to Henderson on Nov. 18, he didn't draw into the lineup for the minor-league squad during his stint. It's unclear if Olofsson will be an option for the Golden Knights' game against Winnipeg on Friday.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to AHL for conditioning Olofsson (lower body) was assigned to AHL Henderson on a conditioning loan Monday.

Impact Olofsson has been dealing with a lower-body injury for just over a month, and he was transferred to long-term injured reserve last week. However, his conditioning assignment signals that he's likely getting closer to returning to game action for the Golden Knights. Over four appearances to begin the season, Olofsson tallied three goals, a hit and a blocked shot while averaging 15:03 of ice time.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to long-term IR Olofsson was transferred to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Olofsson was already ruled out for the Golden Knights' road trip, so he won't be back before Sunday. He's already missed the requisite 10 games and 24 days that comes with an LTIR designation, so he'll be eligible to return whenever he's ready.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Won't travel for upcoming road trip Head coach Bruce Cassidy said Monday that Olofsson (lower body) won't travel with the Golden Knights during their upcoming road trip, which begins Wednesday in Anaheim, Jesse Grang...

Impact Cassidy said that he thinks Olofsson has "turned a corner" in his recovery process, but he still needs time before he's in the mix to return to game action, and he'll be unavailable for at least three more games. A better idea of Olofsson's return timetable could come into focus once he gets back on the ice for practice and ramps up his activity level.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Olofsson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, according to the NHL media site.

Impact Olofsson has missed the last four games with the injury, suffered in Washington on Oct. 15. The former Sabre was looking forward to a fresh beginning with the Golden Knights and was off to a very good start with three goals in his first four games. He is considered week-to-week at this time.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed week-to-week Olofsson (lower body) was labeled week-to-week by coach Bruce Cassidy on Monday.

Impact Olofsson was supposed to be getting a fresh start in Vegas but once again finds himself headed for a stint on the sidelines. At minimum, the 29-year-old winger, who has already missed two games due to his lower-body injury, figures to be out of action for at least the next three contests. Given his recovery timeline, Olofsson is a strong candidate for injured reserve if the Knights need the roster spot.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Olofsson (lower body) won't play Saturday against Florida, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Impact Olofsson will miss his second straight outing. His next chance to play will be Tuesday versus the Kings. Olofsson has three goals and 11 shots on net through four appearances this season.
