Olofsson, with roots in Örnsköldsvik, gave Vegas the lead with 2–1 after a pass from teammate Karlsson just over seven minutes into the second period.
I haven't scored a goal in a while, so it definitely helps my self-confidence, says Olofsson to reporters afterwards.
Chicago stayed in the game thanks to American Ryan Donato, who delivered a hat-trick. After initiating the scoring in period one, he equalized in period two and then gave Chicago the lead.
But two minutes into the final act, 29-year-old Olofsson stepped forward again and scored 3–3, also this time with an assist from 32-year-old Karlsson.
Olofsson, who hadn't scored a goal since January 23 before tonight's meeting, thanked his line mate Karlsson afterwards.
He's a fantastic player for us, a fantastic leader. He can do everything out there. He definitely showed his vision and passing ability tonight, says Olofsson.
Karlsson was also involved when Russian Pavel Dorofejev scored 4–3 in a power play. The last Vegas goal was scored in an open net.
Vegas has thus won five matches in a row.
