Olofsson (illness) is expected to rejoin the Sabres on Sunday against the Hurricanes, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Scouting Report
Owns a big-time shot, which is quick, heavy and accurate. Can score from distance. Is also a terrific weapon on the power play, where he is elusive enough to get open for his one-time shot. Has to get stronger and more consistent, and needs to work on his 200-foot game to realize his full potential.
Long Range Potential: Big-time shooting winger.
