Olivier was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With the Predators short plenty of regulars, Olivier was brought up for a pair of games Thursday (vs. Colorado) and Friday (at Chicago). He didn't record a point but chipped in three hits and two shots on goal and will now head back to the AHL, where he's produced four points in 14 games this season.

Olivier was recalled by the Predators on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Nashville is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, so Olivier is expected to jump into a third-line role for Thursday night's game against the Avalanche. The 24-year-old forward has picked up one helper through five NHL appearances this season.

Olivier was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Although Olivier was sent down Tuesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the big club ahead of Wednesday's game versus Vegas. The 24-year-old winger has picked up one helper through five top-level appearances this year.

Olivier was recalled from the minors Tuesday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Filip Forsberg (upper body) and Nick Cousins (undisclosed) out of action, Olivier should have the inside track to a spot in the lineup over fellow call-up Michael McCarron, though a back-to-back versus Dallas and St. Louis on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, could see both players on the ice. The 24-year-old Olivier is pointless through five minor-league games with the Admirals this season.

The Predators activated Olivier (lower body) from injured reserve Friday and assigned him to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier suffered the lower-body injury right before the regular season began, and he'll get time in the AHL now that he's healthy. That said, he was a candidate to make the NHL roster and could be called up in the near future.

Olivier's injury has been clarified as a lower-body problem, per the team's announcement Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Olivier wasn't designated for long-term injured reserve should be an indication he is facing days rather than weeks on the sideline. Once cleared to play, the 24-year-old winger should be in the mix for a lineup spot, likely in the bottom six, which should set him up to top his 2020-21 numbers in which he garnered three goals and two assists in 30 games.

Olivier (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier scored five points and averaged 10:55 of ice time in 30 games with Nashville last season. It's unclear when the 24-year-old is expected to return but he could be a regular healthy scratch once he's back.
