Mathieu Olivier News

Olivier had two PIMs, a -1 plus/minus and 12 shifts across 8:27 TOI in the Blue Jackets previous game vs. the Rangers but will be a healthy scratch Monday as they take on Detroit. The 26-year-old undrafted winger had his best career season in 2022-23 as he had five goals, 10 assists, 75 SOG, 81 PIMs and a -20 plus/minus in 66 games played. He will be replaced by Emil Bemstrom on Columbus' fourth line.

Olivier missed the Blue Jackets' season opener with a leg injury but appears set to play in Saturday's game vs. the Rangers. The Blue Jackets will need to make a roster move in order for Olivier to play, so you'll know ahead of warmups if he's back or not.

Olivier will be forced to miss the beginning of the 2023-24 season as he was placed on the injured reserve Monday with a leg injury and will be out indefinitely. The 26-year-old forward is entering his fifth NHL season and second as a Blue Jacket after putting up five goals, 10 assists, 75 SOG, 81 PIMs, and a -20 plus/minus in 66 games in 2022-23.

Olivier had five goals, 10 assists, 75 SOG, 81 PIMs and a -20 plus/minus through 65 games played in 2022-23 and has signed a two-year contract extension worth $1.1 Million AAV through the 2024-25 season. The 26-year-old right-winger is about to enter his fifth NHL season and has 22 points (8G/14A) across 114 NHL career games played.

Olivier left the Blue Jackets' game after just 0:35 TOI due to a lower-leg bruise and will now be forced to miss anywhere from 2-4 weeks with the injury. The 26-year-old right-winger will likely end his season with five goals, 10 assists, 75 SOG, 81 PIMs and a -20 plus/minus through 66 games this season.

Olivier missed his third straight game due to illness on Sunday. It's unclear if he will travel to Pittsburgh for Tuesday's game against the Penguins.

Olivier has one assist and seven PIMs in eight games played to start 2022-23 prior to heading to the press box as the odd man out of the Blue Jackets' lineup. Liam Foudy will take his place Friday.

Olivier was a key member of the Predators in 2021 but fell behind the eight-ball with an injury in 2022, spending most of the year in the AHL. The rugged winger has seven points (3G / 4A) and 102 hits in 48 career NHL games. He'll likely be a fringe roster player for the Blue Jackets in 2022-23.

Olivier has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in 46 games with the Admirals this season. He's only appeared in eight NHL games this season, scoring one goal with 12 PIMS.

The Predators have had a COVID-19 outbreak, so Olivier is part of the reinforcements coming up from Milwaukee. Olivier has two goals and two assists in 14 AHL games this season.

Olivier has appeared in five straight games but will be a healthy scratch on Monday. Thomas Novak will replace him on the fourth line.

Olivier has failed to record a point in five AHL games this season. With Nick Cousins landing on IR with an upper-body injury, Olivier will likely make his season debut on Wednesday.

Olivier appeared in eight straight games with the Predators but Kyle Turris was back in the lineup on Tuesday and Olivier's return to the AHL suggests he'll remain in the lineup moving forward. Olivier had one assist, six shots and a plus-1 rating during his time with Nashville.

Olivier, who has seven points (2G / 5A) and 37 PIMS in 17 AHL games, was recalled on Monday and is expected to replace Kyle Turris in the lineup on Tuesday. Olivier is a 6-foot-1, 222 lbs. winger that will skate on the fourth line with Colton Sissons and Auston Watson.

Olivier has scored two goals with five assists in 17 games with Milwaukee this season. The undrafted free agent could make his NHL debut vs. the Jets on Tuesday.
