Snags helper Sunday Olivier recorded one assist, five hits and nine PIM against the Flyers on Sunday.

Impact Olivier has been a healthy scratch in six of the team's last 10 outings but has brought physicality when in the lineup. In those four games, the 26-year-old winger racked up 14 hits while managing just eight shots. Olivier figures to continue serving in a bottom-six role moving forward and likely will have to watch from the press box periodically as a healthy scratch.

Tosses body around in road loss Olivier posted an assist in Monday's 5-3 road loss against the Stars.

Impact The helper was nice, and he also dished out five hits in his 12:00 of ice time across just 17 shifts. The physical part of his game is Olivier's calling card. He is a bottom-six forward who entered Monday's game averaging just 8:38 of ice time. As such, Olivier doesn't have a ton of fantasy appeal despite the decent amount of hits -- he's now tossed 10 checks over six contests this season.

Set to miss 2-4 weeeks Olivier (lower body) will be out for 2-4 weeks, the Jackets announced Monday.

Impact At best, Olivier could return for the final 2-3 games of the season based on the early end of his recovery timeline but there seems little reason for the team to force him back into the lineup.

Olivier will likely wrap up the 2022-23 campaign having notched five goals, 10 assists and 75 shots in 66 contests, all of which are personal bests for the Mississippi native.
