Oleksiak recorded an assist, a plus-2 rating and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak earned five assists over the final 13 games of the campaign. The 31-year-old played in every game of the season for the first time in his career, but he had just 15 points to go with 177 blocked shots, 110 hits and 108 shots on net. Oleksiak is signed for two more seasons and will continue to be a significant part of the Kraken's top four with a focus on the defensive side of the ice.

Oleksiak recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak snapped a four-game dry spell when he set up Will Borgen's third-period tally. The 31-year-old Oleksiak has had a mediocre year on offense with 14 points through 77 contests, but he's on track to avoid missing a game for the first time in his career. The blueliner has added 104 shots on net, 165 blocked shots, 107 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-2 rating in a second-pairing role.

Oleksiak notched an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak has a helper in each of the last three games, his longest streak of the season. The 31-year-old defenseman helped out on Tye Kartye's game-winning tally in the third period. Oleksiak is up to 13 points, 98 shots on net, 154 blocked shots, 104 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 72 outings. He can help in fantasy formats that reward physicality, but it's unwise to expect him to keep up his newfound production through the end of the season.

Oleksiak posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak has a helper in each of the last two contests after a stretch where he posted just one assist across 14 games. The defenseman isn't known for his offense, and this has been a down season for him in that regard. He's supplied 12 points, 98 shots on net, 104 hits, 153 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 71 appearances.

Oleksiak logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old defenseman is up to 11 points, 96 shots on net, 104 hits, 153 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 70 appearances. While his offense is lower than it's been in four years, he's still seeing second-pairing minutes as a shutdown defender.

Oleksiak is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is consequently a game-time decision versus Vegas on Thursday, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak has two goals, 10 points, 98 hits and 150 blocks in 67 contests this season. He was limited to 9:49 of ice time in Seattle's 6-2 loss to Buffalo on Monday. If Oleksiak can't play against the Golden Knights, then Cale Fleury might make his NHL season debut.

Oleksiak notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak ended a six-game drought with a helper on Jared McCann's shorthanded goal in the second period. The 31-year-old Oleksiak is up to 10 points with 87 shots on net, 141 blocked shots, 95 hits, 33 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 62 outings. He remains a defensive stalwart on the second pairing, but his scoring upside is arguably at its lowest point in years.

Oleksiak posted an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak's offense finally showed up after a 33-game point drought. His last contribution was Nov. 22 in a two-assist game versus the Sharks. The 31-year-old defenseman is usually good for a couple of small surges during the season, but he's been almost exclusively a defensive presence in 2023-24. Oleksiak has nine points, 80 shots on net, 75 hits, 127 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 55 appearances.

Oleksiak has gone 26 games without a point.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak's last scoring contribution was a goal versus the Lightning on Dec. 9. Since then, he's racked up 55 blocked shots, 29 hits, 44 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating over 26 scoreless outings. The 31-year-old defenseman is still playing strong defense in a shutdown role, so he's at little risk of losing his place in the lineup. He's at a mere eight points with 79 shots on net, 72 hits and 125 blocked shots through 54 games this season.
