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.

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.
