Oleksiak has a goal and three assists through 10 appearances in 2024-25.

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Oleksiak recorded two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Predators. Oleksiak and Brandon Montour have formed a strong second pairing for the Kraken early in the campaign. Tuesday's performance marked Oleksiak's first offensive contributions, but he's been as steady as ever with his physical play, adding 10 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over four contests. In deeper formats that reward the rough stuff, Oleksiak is an option as a depth defenseman, but his scoring ceiling is roughly 20 points.

• Kraken's Jamie Oleksiak: Assist streak at three games

  03/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Oleksiak notched an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Ducks. Oleksiak has a helper in each of the last three games, his longest streak of the season. The 31-year-old defenseman helped out on Tye Kartye's game-winning tally in the third period. Oleksiak is up to 13 points, 98 shots on net, 154 blocked shots, 104 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 72 outings. He can help in fantasy formats that reward physicality, but it's unwise to expect him to keep up his newfound production through the end of the season.
