Asplund, Olofsson produce as Champions League gets underway
Champions Hockey League action kicked off this week with a pair of Sabres prospects each lighting the lamp to help their teams to wins in their opening games.
Elsewhere in Group A, Victor Olofsson scored the game winning goal to thrust defending champion Frolunda HC to a 2-1 win over Grizzlys Wolfsburg.
