Olivier scored a goal, added four PIM and logged three hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

This was Olivier's fourth game back after missing a month due to an upper-body injury. He has resumed his usual checking role on the third line, compiling 21 hits over those four contests. The depth scoring isn't likely to be consistent, but he'll have some appeal in deep fantasy formats that reward physicality. Olivier is at four goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 92 hits, 53 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 27 appearances this season.

Olivier (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against the Islanders on Sunday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Based on Saturday's practice, Olivier will occupy a third-line role in his return from a 13-game absence. He has accounted for three goals, nine points, 29 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 71 hits and 44 PIM across 23 appearances this season.

Olivier (upper body) is expected to join the team for Saturday's full practice, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Portzline relayed that it is unclear if Olivier will be cleared for contact Saturday, as the right-shot winger has mostly been skating on his own. The 28-year-old has previously joined the team for optional morning skates, so he's seemingly progressing toward making his return to the lineup. The Mississippi native has been out of action since Nov. 26. Olivier will probably serve on the third line once he receives the green light to suit up.

Olivier (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Columbus recalled Luca Del Bel Belluz from AHL Cleveland on an emergency basis in a corresponding move. Olivier has already missed the last three games, and there is no timeline for his return to the lineup. He has accumulated three goals, nine points, 29 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 71 hits and 44 PIM across 23 appearances this season.

Olivier (upper body) doesn't have a timeline for his return to the lineup, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Portzline believes Olivier is probably week-to-week, but Columbus hasn't announced that yet. The 28-year-old Olivier has missed the last two games and hasn't been skating. He has registered three goals, nine points, 29 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 71 hits and 44 PIM across 23 appearances this season.

Olivier (upper body) won't play against Pittsburgh on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier will miss his second straight game after getting injured early in Monday's 5-1 loss to Washington. It remains unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He has contributed three goals, nine points, 29 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 71 hits and 44 PIM across 23 appearances this season.

Olivier (upper body) is set to miss Wednesday's game against Toronto, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier left Monday's 5-1 loss to Washington because of the injury. He has three goals, nine points, 44 PIM and 71 hits in 23 appearances in 2025-26. Luca Pinelli is expected to make his NHL debut Wednesday.

Olivier's upper-body injury will be assessed by the team's medical staff Tuesday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier seemed to be injured during Monday's loss to the Capitals after a puck battle in the corner -- he went to the bench slowly and then to the locker room, per Svoboda. The right-shot winger will be evaluated Tuesday, and the team will see where he's at ahead of Wednesday's home matchup versus the Maple Leafs. Olivier has accounted for three goals, nine points, 71 hits, 29 shots on goal, 44 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 23 appearances this season.

Olivier has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against Washington due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier was injured during the first period and didn't come out for the second. The 28-year-old recorded one block and one hit in 4:49 of ice time before departing the game. The Blue Jackets' next game is at home Wednesday versus Toronto.

Olivier scored two goals and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier cracked the scoresheet after being held without a point across his previous six games, and the last time he did so, he notched four points in a 6-3 victory over the Maple Leafs on Oct. 29. Olivier has proven he can produce when given enough playing time, but his bottom-six role, and the inconsistencies he's had on a game-to-game basis, have limited his upside. He's not a player worth targeting in most formats due to the inconsistency of his production.
