Victor Olofsson

Levi's reputation precedes his rise from college star to the NHL. “Yeah, he’s a stud,” said Jake Oettinger, goalie for the Dallas Stars.

Alex Tuch, in his first game back after missing two weeks with an injury, scored two goals in the Sabres' 4-3 win in Toronto.

The Sabres lost their fourth straight 5-2 to the Kings, and this is the third time this season they have gone three games without a point.

Hockey didn’t feel important earlier this week, but the Sabres are showing how it can be a source of healing in Buffalo.

The Sabres' Dylan Cozens and Tage Thompson (who else?) dominate in a 6-0 blowout win over the Kings.

"To see him get that goal was huge for his confidence," Alex Tuch said. "The second one, too, that's even a bigger deep breath."

Olofsson leads Buffalo with four goals and eight points in seven games, and he has his buddy Rasmus Asplund by his side.

The signing of the forward to a two-year, $6.1 million deal has essentially closed the book on Buffalo’s offseason.

Unless a deal is reached with the Sabres ahead of time, all three restricted free agents will have their next deals settled in a hearing.

“We are all lefties, it kind of doesn’t really matter where we end up,” Victor Olofsson said.

Top draft pick Rasmus Dahlin showed during his preseason debut that he’s quickly grown acclimated to North America. Rasmus Asplund, Victor Olofsson and Lawrence Pilut aren’t far behind.

With two goals and an assist in the Prospect Challenge, No. 1 overall pick Rasmus Dahlin put on a show in his first exhibition in front of the Buffalo faithful.

Rasmus Dahlin is playing in the Sabres’ Prospect Challenge this weekend – the first time he’ll wear a Buffalo jersey in a game – and he’s walking around as if he’s an undrafted free agent.
