Olivier (upper body) told reporters Thursday he would have been ready for Game 1 of the playoffs, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier also mentioned that he might have tried to suit up in the regular-season finale had a spot in the playoffs been on the line. Overall, the 29-year-old winger played in 61 games this year, which stopped him from being able to produce a second straight 30-plus point campaign. If he can stay healthy in 2026-27, 20 goals and 40 points are both achievable thresholds.

Olivier (upper body) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's home game versus Washington, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Olivier's eighth straight absence. The Blue Jackets were eliminated from playoff contention, so Olivier will conclude his season with 15 goals, 26 points, 209 hits, 101 PIM, 93 shots and a plus-13 rating over 61 appearances. The 29-year-old should be ready for the start of training camp in the fall.

Olivier (upper body) is expected to be out for a couple of weeks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier might miss the remainder of the regular season after getting injured in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Boston. He has collected 15 goals, 26 points, 93 shots on net, 209 hits and 101 PIM across 61 appearances this campaign. Due to Olivier's absence, Kent Johnson will play against Carolina on Tuesday.

Olivier won't return to Sunday's game against the Bruins due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier went to the locker room in the second period of Sunday's matchup and was ruled out by the team shortly after the start of the third frame. Prior to his departure, he recorded two hits and five PIM in 3:06 of ice time. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time, but his next opportunity to suit up will be Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

Olivier scored a goal, fired five shots on net, served two PIM and dished out seven hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier stuffed the stat sheet Tuesday with his highest hit total since Jan. 13. The goal was his third over the last five games and his seventh in March. Overall, the 29-year-old winger has 15 goals, 26 points, 89 shots on net, 201 hits and 41 blocked shots through 58 games this season. He could make an impact in deep leagues that value category coverage for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Olivier scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier gave the Blue Jackets a 3-0 lead at the 15:16 mark of the first period with a wrister, giving him 14 goals on the year. The 29-year-old winger wasn't done yet, and he assisted on Cole Sillinger's empty-netter as well. Olivier has two goals in his last three games, but the 29-year-old doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal as a bottom-six forward. Thus, Olivier shouldn't draw a lot of attention in most formats even if he's ending the season on a strong note.

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.

EDGE 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.

Olivier scored two goals in Thursday's 4-2 win over Florida.

EDGE Analysis

The rugged winger tickled twine in the second period before flipping home an empty-netter late in the third. It's the third multi-goal performance of the season for Olivier, two of which have come since the beginning of February. On the season, he's recorded 11 goals, 20 points, 172 hits, 68 shots on net, 62 PIM, 35 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating in 48 contests.

Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Olivier has five goals and two assists over his last eight contests, though this was his first goal since the Olympic break. Expect offense to come in inconsistent bursts for the 29-year-old winger, who doesn't see power-play time. Olivier is at nine goals, 18 points, 63 shots on net, 167 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 46 appearances this season, mainly in a third-line role.

Olivier scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

All the offense came in the third period, as Olivier added a couple of insurance tallies after Dante Fabbro had broken the ice. Olivier has lit the lamp four times in the last four contests to snap a 10-game point drought. The physical winger is showing that last season's offensive breakout was no fluke, collecting eight goals, 17 points, 155 hits, 62 PIM, 54 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 42 games this campaign.
