Olivier had a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
These were Olivier's first points in six games. And while he has 18 goals and 31 points in 77 games this season, his best fantasy asset is his ability to hit. Olivier has 294 this season, including four Tuesday, and that moves him into second in the NHL.

Olivier recorded a goal, an assist and three hits in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier hasn't been the most consistent performer for the Blue Jackets, as he's cracked the scoresheet in only six of his 12 appearances in March. However, he's putting up solid numbers, producing nine points (six goals, three helpers) in that span. Olivier doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats but has been well-suited for leagues that reward his physicality. He has tallied 29 points (17 goals, 12 assists), 270 hits and 69 blocked shots through 71 appearances this season.

Olivier logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and five PIM in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier fought Bokondji Imama in the first period before setting up a Justin Danforth tally in the middle frame. It's been a good stretch for Olivier lately, who has six goals, three assists, 47 hits, 28 shots on net and 26 PIM over 12 contests dating back to Feb. 25. Overall, the 28-year-old is enjoying a career year with 27 points, 125 PIM, 99 shots on net, 260 hits, 69 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 69 appearances in 2024-25.

Olivier scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier has six goals on 25 shots and two assists over his last 10 outings. The 28-year-old is finding extra success on offense, and it's probably a relief that he won't have to worry about job security after signing a six-year, $18 million contract extension March 5. Olivier should continue to provide the Blue Jackets with depth scoring and physicality, likely in a third-line role, for the majority of that contract. This year, he's at 16 goals, 26 points, 96 shots on net, 250 hits, 120 PIM and 68 blocked shots over 67 appearances.

Olivier scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The physical winger continued his breakout offensive campaign, getting the Blue Jackets on the board early in the second period before wrapping up the scoring on the night midway through the third. Olivier has found the back of the net five times in the last seven games. On the season, the 28-year-old has a career-high 15 goals and 25 points through 64 appearances -- he came into 2024-25 with 13 goals and 34 points in 168 career NHL games. The scoring outburst complements his usual rugged play, as Olivier is second in the league in both hits (237) and PIM (120).

Olivier recorded a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers. He also recorded four shots on goal, two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-2 rating.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier recorded his third multi-point game of the season, and first since Oct. 22, but what stands out is the fact that he's been very productive in recent games. The 28-year-old winger has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last six appearances and tallied five points (three goals, two helpers) over that span. This six-game stretch erased a nine-game point drought between Jan. 23 and Feb. 22.

Olivier agreed to terms on a six-year, $18 million contract extension with Columbus on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier is having a career year offensively, setting personal bests in goals (12), points (21) and hits (232) while averaging 14:26 of ice time. In addition, the 28-year-old winger adds plenty of grit to the Blue Jackets' bottom six, as he leads the league with 11 majors this year.

Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. The 28-year-old pending unrestricted free agent is reportedly in negotiations to stay with the Blue Jackets, though if those talks sour, he could be a trade candidate. The physical winger is at 12 goals, nine assists, 76 shots on net, 228 hits, 99 PIM and 66 blocked shots over 60 appearances, making this a career year nearly across the board for him.

Olivier scored a goal, took two shots and recorded seven hits in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier isn't known for his scoring prowess, but he doubled the Blue Jackets' lead just 4:37 into the second period with a tip-in. This was his 11th goal of the campaign, but it also ended a 17-game scoring drought for the 28-year-old veteran. Olivier is having a career-best season with 19 points through 58 contests while adding 220 hits and 66 blocked shots to his name.

Olivier notched a shorthanded assist and five PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier got the game started with a scrap, dropping the mitts in a heavyweight bout with Ryan Reaves 1:32 into the contest. After serving his fighting major, Olivier made an impact on the scoresheet by assisting on the first of Adam Fantilli's three goals in the game. This ended a five-game point drought for Olivier. The rough-and-tumble winger has a career-high 18 points as well as 171 hits, 88 PIM, 56 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 48 appearances.
