Olivier scored a goal on three shots and administered six hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens. - Olivier gave the Blue Jackets a first-period lead, when he broke toward the net on a 2-on-2 rush, but no Canadien covered him. That was something Zach Werenski noticed and fed Olivier, who had enough of a gap to beat Montreal netminder Cayden Primeau. It was the third goal in the last six appearances for the bottom-six winger, who has already set a career-high in goals (seven and counting) through 21 outings. The six hits are nothing new for Olivier, who doled out 341 over the last two seasons (120 games) and has a team-high 72 in 2024-25. |

Olivier scored a shorthanded goal, racked up nine PIM and added three hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins. - Olivier has scored twice in his last three games, and he has nine hits and 14 PIM in that span. The 27-year-old is not afraid to play with an edge, producing six goals, two assists, 59 hits, 35 PIM and 22 blocked shots over 18 appearances this season. He's been a good fit on the third line and should have no trouble surpassing his career high of 15 points from the 2022-23 campaign. |

Olivier scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Penguins. - Olivier ended a seven-game slump with the goal. The 27-year-old winger had a productive stretch of six points in five games in late October, but he's since cooled off. Overall, he has five goals, two assists, 17 shots on net, 55 hits, 19 blocked shots and 21 PIM over 16 contests while mainly filling a third-line role this season. |

Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers. - Olivier has three goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. The winger is looking good in a third-line role as the Blue Jackets try to patch holes created by injuries. The 27-year-old is up to six points, six shots on net, 28 hits, 10 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating over eight outings. His scoring rate will obviously drop, but his physical playing style gives him multiple ways to contribute for fantasy managers in deep formats. |

Olivier notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators. - Olivier has thrived with more ice time -- he has five points over the last four games since injuries to Columbus forwards moved him into a third-line spot. The 27-year-old winger has added four shots on net, 23 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over seven appearances. In the long run, his toughness will be a constant, but he's unlikely to keep up this scoring pace. Still, he's in a great position to top his career high of 15 points from 2022-23. |

Olivier scored twice Tuesday in a 6-2 win over Toronto. - It was his first two-goal game in the NHL. Olivier's first put the Jackets up 3-0 in the first period, and it stood as the winner. He then pushed the score to 5-0 with a one-timer from the top of the crease later in the game. The journeyman 27-year-old has played parts of the last five seasons and had just 13 goals and 21 assists in 168 career games coming into 2024-25. Olivier has already delivered three goals and an assist in six appearances this season. Opportunity has knocked for him, and he'll be eager to prove. |
None |
| Oct. 18, 2024 |
Olivier scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres. - The rugged fourth-liner came through with a rare multi-point performance -- he had only one in 2023-24, and it came in the last game of the season. The points were also Olivier's first of the current campaign, but through four games he's been doing his job, collecting six PIM, six hits and five blocked shots with a plus-2 rating. |
None |
| Oct. 1, 2024 |
Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and logged five PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues. - The bulk of Olivier's activity came in the third period, when he fought Blues defenseman Tyler Tucker and then scored an empty-net goal with a second left. Olivier has thrived in the preseason with four goals in four games. The 27-year-old is unlikely to enjoy that kind of production when he opens the regular season in a fourth-line role. |
None |
| March 2, 2024 |
Olivier scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. - Olivier went 16 games without a point and sat out another 16 contests as a healthy scratch since his last goal Dec. 5. The 27-year-old plays a physical role in the Blue Jackets' bottom six, so the long scoring drought isn't a surprise. He's at six points, 29 shots on net, 40 PIM, 88 hits and a minus-1 rating through 32 outings overall, production too low to be considered for most fantasy formats. |
None |
| Dec. 3, 2023 |
Olivier notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins. - Olivier has played in the Blue Jackets' first two games in December after he was scratched for nine of 15 contests in November. The 26-year-old's stints in the press box have often come in bursts, though he may get a longer look as long as Cole Sillinger (upper body) is sidelined. Olivier is at four helpers, 36 hits, 15 PIM, 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 14 appearances this season. When he plays, he's usually confined to a fourth-line role. |
None |
| Nov. 20, 2023 |
Olivier recorded one assist, five hits and nine PIM in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers. - Olivier has been a healthy scratch in six of the team's last 10 outings but has brought physicality when in the lineup. In those four games, the 26-year-old winger racked up 14 hits while managing eight shots. Olivier figures to continue serving in a bottom-six role moving forward and likely will have to watch from the press box periodically as a healthy scratch. |
None |
| Oct. 30, 2023 |
Olivier posted an assist in Monday's 5-3 road loss against the Stars. - The helper was nice, and he also dished out five hits in his 12:00 of ice time across just 17 shifts. The physical part of his game is Olivier's calling card. He is a bottom-six forward who entered Monday's game averaging just 8:38 of ice time. As such, Olivier doesn't have a ton of fantasy appeal despite the decent amount of hits -- he's now tossed 10 checks over six contests this season. |
None |
| Oct. 14, 2023 |
The Blue Jackets activated Olivier (leg) from injured reserve Saturday. - Olivier will play on the fourth line Saturday, alongside Sean Kuraly and Liam Foudy, as they face the Rangers. Olivier had five goals, 10 assists and 178 hits in 66 NHL games last season. |
None |
| Oct. 9, 2023 |
Olivier (leg) was put on injured reserve Monday. - Olivier was limited at training camp after missing the final 11 games of the 2022-23 season. A timetable for his return is currently unclear. He accounted for 15 points, 81 PIM and 178 hits in 66 games last campaign. |
None |
| Sept. 29, 2023 |
Olivier (lower leg) is practicing Friday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - This is the first practice Olivier has participated in during training camp as he suffered the injury in the offseason. Olivier is projected to play on the fourth line in 2023-24. He had five goals, 15 points and 178 hits in 66 games last season. |
None |
| Sept. 20, 2023 |
Olivier (lower leg) is considered to be week-to-week going into training camp, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. - Olivier had five goals, 15 points 81 PIM and 178 hits in 66 games with Columbus in 2022-23. He's likely to serve on the fourth line once he's healthy. |
None |
| June 21, 2023 |
Olivier (lower leg), who was set to become a restricted free agent this summer, signed a two-year, $2.2 million contract with Columbus on Wednesday. - Olivier received a raise compared to his expiring two-year, $1.5 million deal. He had five goals and 15 points in 66 outings last season. The 26-year-old missed Columbus' final 11 contests due to his lower-leg injury. |
None |
| March 27, 2023 |
Olivier (lower body) will be out for 2-4 weeks, the Jackets announced Monday. - At best, Olivier could return for the final 2-3 games of the season based on the early end of his recovery timeline, but there's little reason for the team to force him back into the lineup. As such, fantasy players may want to just assume the 26-year-old winger won't be back this year. Olivier will likely wrap up the 2022-23 campaign having notched five goals, 10 assists and 75 shots in 66 contests, all of which are personal bests for the Mississippi native. |
None |
| March 24, 2023 |
Olivier suffered a lower-body injury and won't return to Friday's game versus the Islanders. - Olivier logged just 35 seconds of ice time before exiting the contest. Going into Friday's action, he had five goals and 15 points in 65 appearances this season. It remains to be seen if he'll be available Saturday versus Montreal. |
None |
| Feb. 18, 2023 |
Olivier had a goal and two assists in a 4-1 win over the Stars on Saturday. He also delivered three hits. - It was Olivier's first multipoint game in the NHL. His goal stretched the lead to 3-1 at 15:32 of the third -- he knocked in a loose puck in the crease after it squeaked through Stars' netminder Scott Wedgewood on a shot from Eric Robinson off the rush. It was Olivier's first goal in 11 games. |

Olivier logged a goal, five hits, and a fighting major in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Anaheim. - Olivier opened the scoring 2:17 into the first period, beating Anthony Stolarz with a wrist shot on a 2-on-1 rush. The 25-year-old would add a fighting major later in the frame after a scrap with Sam Carrick. The goal was Olivier's third of the season and his first since Nov. 23. The Mississippi-born forward won't offer much offensively (seven points in 40 games) but he certainly adds physicality to Columbus' fourth line, tallying 109 hits and 56 penalty minutes. |
None |
| Jan. 18, 2023 |
Olivier recorded four hits, a shot on goal and a minus-1 rating in Tuesday's loss to the Predators. - He has just one assist over his last 18 games, but his offensive skills aren't why Columbus picked him up from Nashville in the offseason. Olivier has 105 hits and 51 PIM in 39 contests this season, filling the modern equivalent of an enforcer role on the Jackets' fourth line. Those numbers come at a price though, as the 25-year-old winger also has a minus-17 rating, and there are probably better fantasy options available in deep leagues where those physical categories have value. |
None |
| Dec. 6, 2022 |
Olivier (illness) will be back in the lineup Tuesday against Pittsburgh, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. - Olivier has two goals, two assists, 23 shots on net, 16 blocks and 35 hits in 18 appearances this season. He is slated to replace Carson Meyer on the fourth line after missing the past three games. |
None |
| Dec. 4, 2022 |
Olivier (illness) is not expected to play Sunday versus the Red Wings, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Olivier also missed Monday's game against Vegas and Friday's contest against Winnipeg because of an illness. He has two goals, two assists, 23 shots on net, 16 blocks and 35 hits in 18 games this season. |
None |
| Nov. 17, 2022 |
Olivier provided a goal in a 6-4 win against Montreal on Thursday. - It was Olivier's first goal and third point in 14 games this season. The 25 year old primarily serves as a fourth-line forward and his offensive contributions are likely to be few and far between. He does have 22 PIM and 28 hits though. |
None |
| Nov. 2, 2022 |
Olivier has one assist, nine shots on net, 21 hits, seven PIM and a minus-4 rating through his first nine games with the Blue Jackets. - Brought in over the summer to provide some muscle for the Columbus roster, Olivier is second on the team in hits behind fellow fourth liner Sean Kuraly's 23, so he's doing his job. With the Jackets struggling badly right now though, Olivier is one of the most likely players to lose their spot if the club decides to shake things up. |
None |
| June 30, 2022 |
Olivier was traded from the Predators to the Blue Jackets on Thursday in exchange for the 122nd overall pick in the 2022 Draft. - Olivier was limited to 10 NHL appearances for the Predators in 2021-22, logging one assist, 23 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating. He's more of a physical, bottom-six type of forward, so he'll likely be on the fringe of the Blue Jackets' roster competition in training camp. |
None |
| May 10, 2022 |
Olivier will be reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday, Patrick Willis of AHL.com reports. - Olivier saw action in just 10 games during the regular season in which he garnered one assist, five shots and 23 hits while averaging 10:06 of ice time. Given his limited offensive upside, the 25-year-old winger will be hard-pressed to earn significant opportunities next year, making him a low-end fantasy target moving forward. |
None |
| April 26, 2022 |
Olivier was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday. - Olivier has gotten into eight games at the top level this season, posting a single point. He hasn't been very productive in the AHL, either, with just five goals and six assists in 46 contests, so Olivier doesn't figure to offer much fantasy help anytime soon. |
None |
| Jan. 1, 2022 |
Olivier was sent to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday, per CapFriendly. - Olivier will likely continue to rotate between the minors, taxi squad and active roster, though the Predators are getting closer to full health. Most of his playing time should come with Milwaukee. |
None |

Olivier was reassigned to the taxi squad Thursday. - Olivier posted a minus-2 rating in 7:25 of ice time during Wednesday's loss to Washington. He has just one point through eight NHL games this season. |
None |

Olivier was promoted from the taxi squad to the active roster Tuesday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports. - Olivier has one assist in seven NHL appearances this season. He could fill a bottom-six role Wednesday against Washington. |
None |
| Dec. 27, 2021 |
The Predators added Olivier to their taxi squad Monday. - Olivier has one assist through his seven NHL appearances this season. In the AHL, the 24-year-old has recorded two goals and two assists through 17 games for the Milwaukee Admirals. |
None |

Olivier was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday. - With the Predators short plenty of regulars, Olivier was brought up for a pair of games Thursday (vs. Colorado) and Friday (at Chicago). He didn't record a point but chipped in three hits and two shots on goal and will now head back to the AHL, where he's produced four points in 14 games this season. |
None |
| Dec. 16, 2021 |
Olivier was recalled by the Predators on Thursday. - Nashville is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, so Olivier is expected to jump into a third-line role for Thursday night's game against the Avalanche. The 24-year-old forward has picked up one helper through five NHL appearances this season. |
None |
| Nov. 23, 2021 |
Olivier was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday. - Although Olivier was sent down Tuesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the big club ahead of Wednesday's game versus Vegas. The 24-year-old winger has picked up one helper through five top-level appearances this year. |
None |
| Nov. 9, 2021 |
Olivier was recalled from the minors Tuesday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports. - With Filip Forsberg (upper body) and Nick Cousins (undisclosed) out of action, Olivier should have the inside track to a spot in the lineup over fellow call-up Michael McCarron, though a back-to-back versus Dallas and St. Louis on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, could see both players on the ice. The 24-year-old Olivier is pointless through five minor-league games with the Admirals this season and will need to step up his game soon if he wants to break into the NHL with any consistency. |
