Could have played in postseason Olivier (upper body) told reporters Thursday he would have been ready for Game 1 of the playoffs, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Olivier also mentioned that he might have tried to suit up in the regular-season finale had a spot in the playoffs been on the line. Overall, the 29-year-old winger played in 61 games this year, which stopped him from being able to produce a second straight 30-plus point campaign. If he can stay healthy in 2026-27, 20 goals and 40 points are both achievable thresholds.

Finds twine in win Olivier scored a goal, fired five shots on net, served two PIM and dished out seven hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Olivier stuffed the stat sheet Tuesday with his highest hit total since Jan. 13 and his joint-largest number of shots on net since the Olympic break. The goal was his third over the last five games and his seventh in March. Overall, the 29-year-old winger has 15 goals, 26 points, 89 shots on net, 201 hits and 41 blocked shots through 58 games this season. Olivier holds excellent streaming value in most fantasy leagues for the time being and should make an impact in deep leagues that value category coverage for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Goal, assist in win Olivier scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Olivier gave the Blue Jackets a 3-0 lead at the 15:16 mark of the first period with a wrister, giving him 14 goals on the year. The 29-year-old winger wasn't done yet, and he assisted on Cole Sillinger's empty-netter as well. Olivier has two goals in his last three games, but the 29-year-old doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal as a bottom-six forward. Thus, Olivier shouldn't draw a lot of attention in most formats even if he's ending the season on a strong note.

He's up to 13 goals, 23 points, 78 shots on net, 94 PIM, 181 hits and a plus-13 rating through 54 appearances this season.

Gets Gordie Howe hat trick Saturday Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged 27 PIM and notched two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Olivier was involved in the Blue Jackets' first two goals. He was also at the center of a fracas in the third period, fighting with Ian Cole and getting a game misconduct and instigator penalties in the process. With four goals and an assist over his last four contests, Olivier is working on scoring his way into the conversation in fantasy, though his ability to rack up hits and PIM will help as well. He has 22 points, 70 shots on net, 89 PIM, 174 hits and a plus-13 rating over 49 appearances in a third-line role.
