Olivier signed a two-year, $1.5 million contract with the Predators on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier drew into 30 games with Nashville last season, picking up three goals, five points, 70 PIM and 62 hits over that span. The 24-year-old winger should continue to rack up PIM and hits as a bottom-six option for the Predators in 2021-22, but he won't produce enough offense to warrant consideration in most fantasy formats.

Olivier (lower body) was lifted from injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier hasn't played since April 8, missing the last 14 games with his lower-body injury. The 24-year-old has five points and 68 PIM through 29 games this season. He'll likely slide into a bottom-six role for Monday's season finale against Carolina.

Olivier (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
This comes as no surprise, as it was already announced that Olivier would miss at least four weeks with the injury. At this point, the 24-year-old could be done for the season. He has five points and a minus-2 rating in 29 games.

Olivier will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier has been a solid bottom-six option for Nashville this season, but he's only picked up five points in 29 games, so his absence will likely go unnoticed in most fantasy formats. The Predators will probably need to make the playoffs in order for Olivier to have a shot at returning in 2020-21.

EDGE Analysis
Olivier routinely goes to the taxi squad on off-days, but he should be in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Blackhawks. The 24-year-old winger has produced three points and 36 PIM across the last 15 games.

Olivier was returned to Nashville's taxi squad Friday.

Olivier was promoted to the active roster Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Olivier has played in the last 13 games, and he's expected to stay in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Stars. The 24-year-old has generated five points and 39 PIM across 13 contests this season. He should stick the the fourth line for the time being.

EDGE Analysis
