Victor Olofsson has marked a few big milestones in his first season with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Victor Olofsson broke a tie with 3:14 left off William Karlsson's nifty feed from behind the net and the Golden Knights beat the Canucks Sunday night. Vancouver is eight points out of a playoff berth with four games to go.

Reilly Smith scored his second goal of the game at 4:31 of overtime to give the Golden Knights a victory over the Flames, a result that gave the Kings a playoff spot. Calgary moved within four points of idle Minnesota for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
Reilly Smith scored twice — including the overtime winner — on Saturday night as the Vegas Golden Knights edged the Calgary Flames 3-2.
The Calgary Flames presently sit five points back of the Minnesota Wild for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Flames d-man Rasmus Andersson says the games in hand mean nothing if the club doesn't take advantage of them. They'll get their first crack tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights, the club that bested Flames forward Ryan Lomberg's old team, the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final two years ago when they too snuck into the final Wild Card spot.
Two years ago, Ryan Lomberg and the Florida Panthers snuck into the playoffs in the final spot, and made it all the way to the Stanley Cup final, a fact that Lomberg has raised to his current Calgary Flames teammates as the club battles to make the dance. TSN's Salim Valji has more from Calgary on the Flames' chase for the playoffs.
Mark Stone had a point-blank opportunity Thursday night, but when Winnipeg goalie Eric Comrie denied his shot, the Golden Knights' captain slammed his stick on the ice. It was that kind of night — and week — for Stone and his Vegas teammates.
Mark Scheifele's 37th of the season opened the scoring, Eric Comrie made 27 saves for his second shutout of the season and the Jets beat the Golden Knights to sit four points clear of the Stars.
The Jets rebounded from their loss to the Kings with a complete game against the Golden Knights. Dan Robertson is joined by Kevin Sawyer to break down the game with Winnipeg sitting four points clear of the Stars in the Central.
Backup Eric Comrie made 26 saves for his second shutout in two months as the Winnipeg Jets beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0 on Thursday night in a matchup of Western Conference divisional leaders.
The Jets have not fared well against the Golden Knights, losing eight straight games to Vegas dating back to 2022. Winnipeg comes into tonight's road game with a four-point lead over the Stars for the top spot in the Central Division, and are one-point up on Washington in the race for the Presidents' Trophy.
The Winnipeg Jets are the measuring stick in the eyes of head coach Scott Arniel. Arniel bristled when asked if he saw Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings as a measuring stick for his first-place club.
Leon Draisaitl added to his NHL-leading goal total by scoring on a 5-on-3 power play to put the Edmonton Oilers ahead for good Tuesday night, but the Vegas Golden Knights clinched a playoff berth despite the 3-2 loss.
