The Vegas Golden Knights signed forward Victor Olofsson to a one-year, $1.075 million contract, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.

Olofsson, who turns 29 this month, is taking a major cut in pay after completing a two-year, $9.5 million deal with the Buffalo Sabres.

He registered seven goals, eight assists and a minus-1 rating in 51 games in 2023-24 and has 182 points (90 goals, 92 assists) in 314 games since his NHL debut with Buffalo in the 2019-20 season, when he made the NHL All-Rookie first team.

The Sabres drafted the Sweden native in the seventh round in 2014.
