Mathieu Olivier - NHL News & Rumors

Playing versus Caps Olivier (lower body) will be in the lineup against Washington on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact Olivier has registered just one point in his last seven games while generating a mere six shots on net. The only upside for fantasy players during his recent run of play is that he dished out 26 hits over that stretch. While he does see time with the man advantage, Olivier's scoring slump makes him a risky fantasy option.

Impact According to head coach Dean Evason, the team is optimistic that Olivier and Justin Danforth (lower body) will both be available versus the Capitals but that it's not guaranteed. The 27-year-old Olivier has underwhelmed of late with just one point in his last seven appearances while also registering a mere six shots during that stretch. Mikael Pyyhtia figures to slot into the lineup if either Olivier or Danforth can't play Thursday.

Scores in loss Olivier scored a goal on three shots and administered six hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact 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.

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.

Lights lamp Monday Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact 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.

Pockets helper Olivier notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact Olivier has thrived with more ice time -- he has five points over the last four games since injuries to Columbus forwards forced 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 for long, though he's in a great position to top his career high of 15 points from 2022-23.
