Former Wild defenseman has advanced to the Calder Cup Finals with the Coachella Valley.
Former Wild defenseman Gustav Olofsson has been playing in the Seattle Kraken organization for the last three seasons.
Olofsson, 29, was a second round pick by the Wild back in 2013. He signed with the Wild after playing one season at Colorado College. He started his pro career with Iowa of the American Hockey League.
He played in 57 games for the Wild in his career and notched 11 points across three seasons. Olofsson played in 41 NHL games with the Wild in 2017-18 which was his last year in Minnesota.
The 6-foot-3 defender played in 120 AHL games for the Iowa Wild where he notched nine goals, 33 assists, and 42 points across four seasons with Iowa. He was eventually traded to Montreal for Will Bitten and played in just three NHL games across three seasons with the Canadiens.
Olofsson is now the assistant captain for the Coachella Valley Firebirds and has led his team to the Calder Cup Finals for the second straight season. He has five points in 12 playoff games so far.
