29-Year-Old Right WingRW
Columbus Blue Jackets
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Olivier achieved new personal bests in goals (18), assists (14), points (32), PIM (139), shots on goal (111), blocked shots (80) and hits (306) across 82 games in 2024-25. His all-around play and toughness helped him secure a six-year, $18 million contract extension with the Blue Jackets in March. Olivier topped the league with 15 major penalties while ranking second in the NHL in PIM and hits. He will be a physical presence for Columbus in 2025-26 and could be a solid depth option in banger leagues if he reaches the 30-point mark again.  Read Past Outlooks

Gets Gordie Howe hat trick Saturday
RWColumbus Blue Jackets
March 8, 2026
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Olivier is a fourth-line forward who has some fantasy relevancy in certain situations thanks to his gritty play. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with five goals, 12 points, 70 PIM and 163 hits across 54 contests with the Blue Jackets. He has one season left on his two-year, $2.2 million contract and is expected to serve in largely the same role again this year. That should lead to him once again recording over 60 PIM and 150 hits, but he's unlikely to do too much offensively.
A part-time player in Nashville over parts of his first three NHL seasons, Olivier -- a Mississippi native with dual citizenship -- was a regular for Columbus last year, appearing in 66 games before a lower-body injury ended his season in late March. Olivier's offensive production was minimal (five goals, 15 points), although he did chip in 178 hits. Impressed with what they saw, the Jackets inked Olivier to a new two-year, $2.2 million extension in June. The 26-year-old will again serve as a bottom-six option for the club in 2023-24.
