Vegas Golden Knights Recall Victor Olofsson And Cal Burke

The Vegas Golden Knights announced they have recalled forwards Victor Olofsson and Cal Burke from the Henderson Silver Knights.

In a corresponding move the team sent down forward Mason Morelli and defenseman Robert Hagg.

Olofsson suffered a lower body injury in Vegas’ fourth game of the season and has not played since. He scored three goals in the four games prior to the injury.

The 29-year-old did not appear in any games for Henderson. He should slot back into the Golden Knights’ middle-six and power play upon his return.

He is not expected to play in Vegas’ Nov. 29 game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Burke is listed as a recall on the AHL Transactions page but was not announced by the team.

The 27-year-old has one goal in five games with Vegas averaging 11:55 of ice time per game. He has six points in 11 games with the Silver Knights.

Morelli played in one game for Vegas during his recall and went pointless. He has five goals and nine points in 13 AHL games this season.

Hagg played in two Vegas games last week filling in for the injured Alex Pietrangelo. He went pointless but picked up 11 hits. He has one goal and eight points in 14 games with Henderson.
