Playing versus Caps Olivier (lower body) will be in the lineup against Washington on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact Olivier has registered just one point in his last seven games while generating a mere six shots on net. The only upside for fantasy players during his recent run of play is that he dished out 26 hits over that stretch. While he does see time with the man advantage, Olivier's scoring slump makes him a risky fantasy option.

Scores in loss Olivier scored a goal on three shots and administered six hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Olivier gave the Blue Jackets a first-period lead, when he broke toward the net on a 2-on-2 rush, but no Canadien covered him. That was something Zach Werenski noticed and fed Olivier, who had enough of a gap to beat Montreal netminder Cayden Primeau. It was the third goal in the last six appearances for the bottom-six winger, who has already set a career-high in goals (seven and counting) through 21 outings. The six hits are nothing new for Olivier, who doled out 341 over the last two seasons (120 games) and has a team-high 72 in 2024-25.
