The Kraken recalled Olofsson from Coachella Valley (AHL) on an emergency basis on Monday.

Olofsson will provide depth on the blue-line for the Kraken, who could be without Vince Dunn (upper-body) and Ryker Evans (lower-body) when they take on the Ducks on Tuesday. Olofsson has 62 NHL games to his name dating as far back as the 2015-16 season but is yet to make his season debut.

Gustav Olovsson has signed a two-year, two-way contract ($775,000 AAV) with Seattle.

Olofsson failed to pick up a point across three games with Seattle in 2022-23 but has six SOG and a +1 plus/minus and has signed a two-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 AAV at the NHL level. The 28-year-old defenseman has 11 assists through 62 career games played for three NHL teams in five seasons.

Gustav Olofsson has been recalled from the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL).

This will be Olofsson's second crack at the NHL this season after a short one-game stint with the Kraken earlier this season. He is getting the call due to Justin Schultz being placed on the injured reserve after putting up five assists, eight PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 15 games with Coachella (AHL) prior to his promotion.

Olofsson is expected to dress as a seventh defenseman on Saturday.

Olofsson sat as a healthy scratch in the season opener in Detroit, but with Mikael Granlund battling an undisclosed injury he will draw in as a seventh defenseman tonight in Carolina. The 22-year-old blueliner had three assists in 13 games with Minnesota last season, but spent most of the year in Iowa (AHL) where he amassed 24 points (6G / 18A) across 59 contests.

The Wild re-signed Gustav Olofsson to a two-year, $1.45M deal ($725K AAV).

Olofsson spent the majority of last year in Iowa (AHL), where he amassed 24 points (6G / 18A) in 59 games. Olofosson has good size (6-foot-3 / 197 lbs) and his offensive game is improving, making him an up-and-coming two-way defenseman. This is a one-year deal and with the Wild cutting ties with Christian Folin, Olofsson will likely be in Minnesota from Day 1 this year.
