Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Shorthanded goal, fight in win
Olivier scored a shorthanded goal, racked up nine PIM and added three hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
Olivier has scored twice in his last three games, and he has nine hits and 14 PIM in that span. The 27-year-old is not afraid to play with an edge, producing six goals, two assists, 59 hits, 35 PIM and 22 blocked shots over 18 appearances this season. He's been a good fit on the third line and should have no trouble surpassing his career high of 15 points from the 2022-23 campaign.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Nets game-winner Friday
Olivier scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.
Olivier ended a seven-game point drought with the goal. The 27-year-old winger had a productive stretch of six points in five games in late October, but he's since cooled off. Overall, he has five goals, two assists, 17 shots on net, 55 hits, 19 blocked shots and 21 PIM over 16 contests while mainly filling a third-line role this season.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Lights lamp Monday
Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.
Olivier has three goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. The winger is looking good in a third-line role as the Blue Jackets try to patch holes created by injuries. The 27-year-old is up to six points, six shots on net, 28 hits, 10 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating over eight outings. His scoring rate will obviously drop, but his physical playing style gives him multiple ways to contribute for fantasy managers in deep formats.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Pockets helper
Olivier notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.
Olivier has thrived with more ice time -- he has five points over the last four games since injuries to Columbus forwards moved him into a third-line spot. The 27-year-old winger has added four shots on net, 23 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over seven appearances. In the long run, his toughness will be a constant, but he's unlikely to keep up this scoring pace. Still, he's in a great position to top his career high of 15 points from 2022-23.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: First two-goal game in NHL
Olivier scored twice Tuesday in a 6-2 win over Toronto.
It was his first two-goal game in the NHL. Olivier's first put the Jackets up 3-0 in the first period, and it stood as the winner. He then pushed the score to 5-0 with a one-timer from the top of the crease later in the game. The journeyman 27-year-old has played parts of the last five seasons and had just 13 goals and 21 assists in 168 career games coming into 2024-25. Olivier has already delivered three goals and an assist in six appearances this season. Opportunity has knocked for him, and he'll be eager to prove.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Two-point effort Thursday
Olivier scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
The rugged fourth-liner came through with a rare multi-point performance -- he had only one in 2023-24, and it came in the last game of the season. The points were also Olivier's first of the current campaign, but through four appearances, he's been doing his job, collecting six PIM, six hits and five blocked shots with a plus-2 rating.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Deposits empty-netter
Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and logged five PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues.
The bulk of Olivier's activity came in the third period, when he fought Blues defenseman Tyler Tucker and then scored an empty-net goal with a second left. Olivier has thrived in the preseason with four goals in four games. The 27-year-old is unlikely to enjoy that kind of production when he opens the regular season in a fourth-line role.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Finds twine Saturday
Olivier scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Olivier went 16 games without a point and sat out another 16 contests as a healthy scratch since his last goal Dec. 5. The 27-year-old plays a physical role in the Blue Jackets' bottom six, so the long scoring drought isn't a surprise. He's at six points, 29 shots on net, 40 PIM, 88 hits and a minus-1 rating through 32 outings overall, production too low to be considered for most fantasy formats.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Registers assist in loss
Olivier notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.
Olivier has played in the Blue Jackets' first two games in December after he was scratched for nine of 15 contests in November. The 26-year-old's stints in the press box have often come in bursts, though he may get a longer look as long as Cole Sillinger (upper body) is sidelined. Olivier is at four helpers, 36 hits, 15 PIM, 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 14 appearances this season. When he plays, he's usually confined to a fourth-line role.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Snags helper Sunday
Olivier recorded one assist, five hits and nine PIM in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
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 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.

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

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Set to miss 2-4 weeeks
Olivier (lower leg bone bruise) will be out for 2-4 weeks, the Jackets announced Monday.
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's little reason for the team to force him back into the lineup. As such, fantasy players may want to just assume the 26-year-old winger won't be back this year. 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.

Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Chips in with helper
Olivier logged an assist, five hits and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sharks.
Olivier set up linemate Liam Foudy for a third-period tally. The helper ended a five-game point drought for Olivier, who remains an inconsistent contributor on the fourth line. The physical winger is up to five goals, nine assists, 70 shots on net, 167 hits, 55 blocked shots, 81 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 61 contests this season.
