Impact Olivier's goal was the last of eight scored between the two teams in a chaotic third period. He snapped a four-game point drought Saturday, but he's partially made up for the lack of offense by being a steady source of hits and PIM. For the season, the 27-year-old winger has a career-high 16 points with 47 shots on net, 79 PIM, 147 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through just 40 appearances.

Impact Olivier led the Blue Jackets' forwards with 20:23 of ice time Thursday, which was easily a season high. The 27-year-old winger has been a key part of Columbus' depth, playing mainly on the third line. He's earned three points, 13 PIM and 34 hits over his last eight games.

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.

Misses practice Wednesday Olivier was absent from practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury and is questionable heading into Thursday's clash with Washington, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official...

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.

Impact 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.
