Olofsson Makes Calgary Flames Debut

0:00Welcome to Calgary Flames News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to Calgary Flames fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. Victor Olopson makes his Calgary Flames debut tonight against the Washington capitals at 5pm on Sportsnet West. The 30-year-old Swedish forward joined the team after a trade from the Colorado Avalanche on Friday's deadline day. He slotted into a top 6 role for the final 20 games of the season. It has been a hectic stretch for Olopson. He learned of the deal while napping before a Dallas game, flew back to Denver that night, arrived late in Calgary two days ago, and traveled east, with the Flames for their 5-game roadtrip starting in DC. Olopson sounds thrilled with the warm welcome and new chance. He is pairing with fellow Sweden-Mikel Backland, who can guide him through any questions. Coach Ryan Huska notes the newcomer, adds fresh energy, much like recent additions who sparked a win over Carolina. The Flames see Olopson's lethal shot as a key weapon, especially on the power play.

1:03He has 43 power play goals among his 116 career tallies, and took reps today on a 5 forward unit. This March, Olopson's first stop in Canada across 430 NHL games with Buffalo Vegas and Colorado. He is eager for the Flames fans and home atmosphere once the road trip ends. Quick thanks to today's sponsor. See the description for more. Some chase peace.
