Mathieu Olivier scored one goal and added two assists in the Blue Jackets' 7-2 win over the Avalanche on Tuesday, November 3. He put two shots on goal, added two hits and two blocks, finished plus-4 and logged 17:41.

The three-point night stands well above his recent averages of 0.38 points, 1.4 shots and 14:14 a night. His underlying play grades 86 out of 100 among forwards, a measure of shots, scoring chances and ice time that suggests the scoring may be sustainable.

Mathieu Olivier

Olivier's three points Tuesday came on increased ice time, skating 17:41 compared to his recent 14:14 a night. He contributes 0.20 goals and 0.18 assists per game in his recent sample of 185 games, making the goal and two assists a significant spike. The plus-4 rating reflects his time on the ice during Columbus' dominant offensive performance.

The 86-out-of-100 underlying grade ranks him well among forwards and points to strong shot generation and scoring chance creation that could support more offense going forward. He chips in 3.3 hits and 0.7 blocks per game for category coverage. Columbus has three games left this week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

What to do

• Stream Olivier in deeper formats where his hits and solid underlying grades add value beyond Tuesday's point spike.

• Monitor whether his ice time stays above 17 minutes, which would support more scoring chances than his recent 14:14 average.

• Use Columbus' three games this week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) to extract short-term value from his current form.
