He was called up by the Wild from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Houston Aeros, on 28 January 2009 and made his NHL debut on 30 January 2009, where he wore the number 28, against the Edmonton Oilers.

On 16 July 2009, he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Nashville Predators.[1]

On 10 March 2010, Ölvecký was loaned to the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League (AHL), the top AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, by the Milwaukee Admirals, Nashville's prospect team. In return, the Admirals received Moose veteran Marty Murray, on loan.

Ölvecký spent the fall of 2010 in HC Dukla Trenčín in Slovakia's Slovak Extraliga, where he scored 26 points (9 goals, 17 assists).[2] He spent the 2011 part of the 2010–11 season with KalPa of the SM-liiga.[3] He then signed with the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) team Lev Poprad for the 2011–12 season, but he left the team after only six games. In January 2012, he signed a try-out contract lasting until 29 January with Växjö Lakers Hockey of the Swedish Elitserien (SEL).[4]
