Jamie Oleksiak - NHL News & Rumors

Jamie Oleksiak on Building Culture and Embracing a Canadian Market | Vancouver Canucks Vancouver Canucks defenceman Jamie Oleksiak didn’t know what to expect when he entered free agency for the first time in his 14-year NHL car...

JULY 6 • NHL.COM

Moving north on two-year deal Oleksiak signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.

Impact After five years with the Kraken, Oleksiak will head north of the border. He produced five goals, 10 assists, 77 shots on net, 36 PIM, 112 hits, 106 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 78 outings with Seattle last season. Oleksiak will likely fill at least part of the role that previously belonged to Marcus Pettersson, who was dealt to the Rangers on Wednesday. Oleksiak carries some fantasy value in banger leagues but has topped the 20-point mark just once in his career.

Pockets helper in win Oleksiak notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Oleksiak ended an 11-game point drought with the helper. The 33-year-old defenseman has seen a slight dip in offense with 14 points over 76 appearances this season. He's added 74 shots on net, 110 hits, 105 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-11 rating. He is the lone pending free agent on the Kraken's NHL blue line this summer, and it's unclear if there's interest from Seattle in bringing him back for 2026-27.

Goals in consecutive games Oleksiak scored a goal, added an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Oleksiak helped out on a Berkly Catton goal in the first period. In the third, Oleksiak crashed the net and cashed in on a Bobby McMann pass for the Kraken's last goal. With three points (two goals and one assist) over his last two games, it's been a productive burst for Oleksiak. The 33-year-old defenseman doesn't have many of those -- he's at five goals, 13 points, 60 shots on net, 95 hits, 95 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 64 appearances this season.

Lights lamp in win Oleksiak scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Oleksiak had been limited to three assists over his last 26 games after ringing in the new year with a goal. The 33-year-old defenseman is at four goals, 11 points, 59 shots on net, 94 hits, 91 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 63 appearances. Both his offense and physical play have dropped this season, weakening an already shaky profile in fantasy. Expect Oleksiak to finish the season in a third-pairing role.

Gets on scoresheet with helper Oleksiak notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Oleksiak has been limited to four points over 22 outings in January and February. The 33-year-old defenseman is playing regularly as a shutdown blueliner in a bottom-four role. He's earned 10 points, 52 shots on net, 77 hits, 82 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 57 appearances this season. Oleksiak is slated for unrestricted free agency this summer, but the Kraken may be hesitant to part with him before the trade deadline since they're in the middle of the playoff race.

Nets goal in win Oleksiak scored a goal, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Oleksiak briefly left the game in the third period after taking a shot to the knee, but he was able to gut it out and return. He logged 18:27 of ice time in the contest. Oleksiak has two points over his last four outings, but he's at just seven points with 39 shots on net, 59 blocks, 49 hits and a plus-6 rating through 36 appearances. He is likely to stay in the lineup regularly, at least until Brandon Montour (hand) can return, which is expected to be another 2-3 weeks away at best.

Finds assist in win Oleksiak notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Kings.

Impact Oleksiak ended a 14-game point drought with the effort. The defenseman was scratched twice earlier in December, but he's virtually guaranteed to stay in the lineup while both of Brandon Montour (hand) and Vince Dunn (upper body) are out. Oleksiak has six points, 37 shots on net, 47 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 33 appearances in a shutdown role this season.

INCREDIBLE one-handed assist! 🤯

Rare multi-point effort in win Oleksiak notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact This was Oleksiak's first multi-point effort of the season. He has three helpers over his last three games, and that uptick in offense has come at a good time, as the Kraken's blue line is at full health. The veteran defenseman has five points, 17 shots on net, 25 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 18 appearances this season. Oleksiak remains the favorite for third-pairing minutes, but he could be pushed by Josh Mahura or Cale Fleury if his performance slips.

Pots goal Monday Oleksiak scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Oleksiak's tally was his second of the year, which is all of his offense so far. The 32-year-old has seen a reduced role in 2025-26, averaging 16:57 of ice time over 12 games, down 1:50 per contest from last year. He's added 13 shots on net, 19 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. He fills a shutdown role, and while he can be expected to be in the lineup regularly, he may lose some minutes once Ryker Evans (upper body) is able to make his season debut.

Deposits first goal Oleksiak scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Oleksiak doesn't get involved much on offense, though he can put up points in small bursts. The 32-year-old blueliner has a goal, five shots on net, four hits, seven blocked shots and four PIM through three contests so far. He plays a physical game and could have appeal in banger leagues.

Notches assist in loss Oleksiak posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Impact Oleksiak set up a Jaden Schwartz tally in the third period. Oleksiak earned three assists over the last five games of the season, though he largely struggled to do much on offense for large stretches of the campaign. The 32-year-old blueliner ends 2024-25 with 17 points, 66 shots on net, 159 blocked shots, 74 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 82 contests. His role shrunk at times to allow Ryker Evans more ice time, and if that trend continues in 2025-26, Oleksiak's fantasy appeal will drop even more.

Puts up helper in shootout win Oleksiak recorded an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.

Impact Oleksiak has two assists, nine blocked shots and six hits over his last four outings. The defenseman set up Shane Wright for the game-tying goal midway through the third period. Oleksiak is now at 16 points -- surpassing the 15-point effort he had over 82 games a year ago. He's added 66 shots on net, 34 PIM, 74 hits, 158 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 81 appearances in 2024-25 while occupying a bottom-four role.

Impact Oleksiak set up Matty Beniers' game-tying goal at 18:35 of the first period. The helper ended an eight-game skid for Oleksiak, who remains in a bottom-four role for the Kraken. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to 15 points in 78 appearances, matching his point total from 82 games a year ago. He's added 154 blocked shots, 69 hits, 65 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 2024-25, putting him on pace to miss the 100-hit mark for the first time since 2016-17.
