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

First goal since return
RWColumbus Blue Jackets
January 4, 2026
Olivier scored a goal, added four PIM and logged three hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.
ANALYSIS
This was Olivier's fourth game back after missing a month due to an upper-body injury. He has resumed his usual checking role on the third line, compiling 21 hits over those four contests. The depth scoring isn't likely to be consistent, but he'll have some appeal in deep fantasy formats that reward physicality. Olivier is at four goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 92 hits, 53 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 27 appearances this season.

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.
