“Olaf is a real stabilizer in the locker room and on the ice,” Lightning Vice President of Hockey Operations Brian Lawton said. “With Karri Ramo, Olaf Kolzig, and Mike Smith we have a great deal of depth at the goaltending position, and we like all the options that allows us moving forward.”

A first-team All-Star and Vezina Trophy winner as the league’s top goaltender after posting a career-best 41 wins in 1999-00, Kolzig has played in two NHL All-Star Games (1998 and 2000).
