Olivier indicated over the weekend that his recent three-game absence was due to a gastro-intestinal issue that landed him in the emergency room, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The winger admitted the incident "really had me worried," although he was eventually diagnosed with a virus and not a more serious condition. Olivier still isn't completely back to full strength but has been playing his usual physical style since returning to the lineup, racking up 11 hits, four PIM and three blocked shots over four games in addition to three shots on net and an assist.

Olivier (illness) will be back in the lineup Tuesday against Pittsburgh, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier has two goals, two assists, 23 shots on net, 16 blocks and 35 hits in 18 appearances this season. He is slated to replace Carson Meyer on the fourth line after missing the past three games.

Olivier (illness) is not expected to play Sunday versus the Red Wings, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier also missed Monday's game against Vegas and Friday's contest against Winnipeg because of an illness. He has two goals, two assists, 23 shots on net, 16 blocks and 35 hits in 18 games this season.

Olivier provided a goal in a 6-4 win against Montreal on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Olivier's first goal and third point in 14 games this season. The 25 year old primarily serves as a fourth-line forward and his offensive contributions are likely to be few and far between. He does have 22 PIM and 28 hits though.

Olivier has one assist, nine shots on net, 21 hits, seven PIM and a minus-4 rating through his first nine games with the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Brought in over the summer to provide some muscle for the Columbus roster, Olivier is second on the team in hits behind fellow fourth liner Sean Kuraly's 23, so he's doing his job. With the Jackets struggling badly right now though, Olivier is one of the most likely players to lose their spot if the club decides to shake things up.

Olivier was traded from the Predators to the Blue Jackets on Thursday in exchange for the 122nd overall pick in the 2022 Draft.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier was limited to 10 NHL appearances for the Predators in 2021-22, logging one assist, 23 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating. He's more of a physical, bottom-six type of forward, so he'll likely be on the fringe of the Blue Jackets' roster competition in training camp.

Olivier will be reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday, Patrick Willis of AHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier saw action in just 10 games during the regular season in which he garnered one assist, five shots and 23 hits while averaging 10:06 of ice time. Given his limited offensive upside, the 25-year-old winger will be hard-pressed to earn significant opportunities next year, making him a low-end fantasy target moving forward.

Olivier was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier has gotten into eight games at the top level this season, posting a single point. He hasn't been very productive in the AHL, either, with just five goals and six assists in 46 contests, so Olivier doesn't figure to offer much fantasy help anytime soon.

Olivier was sent to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier will likely continue to rotate between the minors, taxi squad and active roster, though the Predators are getting closer to full health. Most of his playing time should come with Milwaukee.

Olivier was recalled from the taxi squad to the active roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier has one point through eight NHL games this season. He'll likely skate in a bottom-six role against Chicago on Saturday.
