Oleksiak posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak set up a Jaden Schwartz tally in the third period. Oleksiak earned three assists over the last five games of the season, though he largely struggled to do much on offense for large stretches of the campaign. The 32-year-old blueliner ends 2024-25 with 17 points, 66 shots on net, 159 blocked shots, 74 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 82 contests. His role shrunk at times to allow Ryker Evans more ice time, and if that trend continues in 2025-26, Oleksiak's fantasy appeal will drop even more.

Oleksiak recorded an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak has two assists, nine blocked shots and six hits over his last four outings. The defenseman set up Shane Wright for the game-tying goal midway through the third period. Oleksiak is now at 16 points -- surpassing the 15-point effort he had over 82 games a year ago. He's added 66 shots on net, 34 PIM, 74 hits, 158 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 81 appearances in 2024-25 while occupying a bottom-four role.

Oleksiak logged an assist and blocked five shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak set up Matty Beniers' game-tying goal at 18:35 of the first period. The helper ended an eight-game skid for Oleksiak, who remains in a bottom-four role for the Kraken. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to 15 points in 78 appearances, matching his point total from 82 games a year ago. He's added 154 blocked shots, 69 hits, 65 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 2024-25, putting him on pace to miss the 100-hit mark for the first time since 2016-17.

Oleksiak notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak ended his 15-game point drought with a helper on Jordan Eberle's game-tying goal in the second period. The 32-year-old Oleksiak still went plus-1 during the slump and added 18 hits and 21 blocked shots. He's a shutdown defenseman by nature, but he's usually good for 15-20 points per season. He's likely to be on the low end of that range in 2024-25 -- he's at 14 points, 59 shots on net, 134 blocked shots, 58 hits and a minus-1 rating through 69 outings this year.

Oleksiak went an 11th straight game without a point in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
He's added 17 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating in that span. Oleksiak's name didn't pop up in any published trade rumors ahead of Friday's deadline -- his 16-team no-trade list likely played a part in that, as did his $4.6 million cap hit, which is a bit steep for a player who has had a poor year on offense. He's stuck at 13 points while adding 58 shots on net, 54 hits, 129 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 64 appearances.

Oleksiak managed an assist, four shots on goal and six blocked shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
With two goals and four assists over his last 11 outings, Oleksiak has been unusually productive in January. He was back in a top-four role Thursday due to the absence of Ryker Evans (upper body). Oleksiak is at 13 points, 47 shots on net, 112 blocked shots, 40 hits and a minus-4 rating through 53 appearances. His offense can disappear as fast as it shows up sometimes, so Oleksiak should only be rostered in fantasy formats where managers can take advantage of his defensive work.

Oleksiak recorded an assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak has earned five points over his last 10 contests. The 32-year-old doesn't add much offense, but he's been a stalwart in the Kraken's lineup even with a demotion to the third pairing in recent weeks. Oleksiak is at 12 points, 43 shots on net, 39 hits, 106 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 52 appearances.

Oleksiak scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak has four points and a plus-6 rating over his last six contests. The defenseman has done more on offense despite moving to the third pairing, a move made by head coach Dan Bylsma to allow Ryker Evans to play a larger role. Oleksiak is at 11 points, 40 shots on net, 39 hits, 102 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 48 appearances, and he is carrying less fantasy value this year since he's not playing as physical a style as he has in past campaigns.

Oleksiak scored a goal on three shots, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak cut through the Penguins defense and tied the game at 2-2, and Eeli Tolvanen followed it up for the go-ahead tally 50 seconds later. The goal was Oleksiak's first since Oct. 29 versus the Canadiens. The 32-year-old has two points over his last three outings but has just nine points through 45 contests overall. He's added 35 hits, 38 shots on net, 100 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. Oleksiak was on the third pairing Tuesday after head coach Dan Bylsma shuffled his lines following an embarrassment in Detroit on Sunday, but the blueliner has typically seen top-four minutes this season.

Oleksiak logged an assist and five blocked shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksiak has contributed three assists, 43 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 18 appearances since the start of December. The 32-year-old defenseman is rarely a big source of offense, but he can handle a shutdown role while seeing top-four minutes for the Kraken. This season, Oleksiak has eight points, 34 shots on net, 96 blocks, 32 hits and a minus-7 rating while most frequently playing on a pairing with the more goal-dangerous Brandon Montour.
