Olivier, 25 (2/11/97), has tallied one assist in eight games for the Predators this season, with his last NHL action coming on Dec. 29 at Washington. At the AHL level, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound forward owns 11 points (5g-6a) and 76 penalty minutes in 46 games for the Admirals, who have clinched a Calder Cup Playoffs berth and sit third in the Central Division with one regular-season contest remaining. Olivier is one of five Milwaukee skaters to score a shorthanded goal this season and has recorded two points (2a) in his last four AHL games.
Undrafted, Olivier established career highs in games (30), goals (3), assists (2) and points (5) with Nashville in 2020-21 after skating in the first eight games of his NHL career during the 2019-20 campaign. He also suited up for his first two career Stanley Cup Playoff games during last season's first-round series against Carolina, dishing out four hits in 13:46 of average ice time. Olivier, who was born in Biloxi, Miss., while his father, Simon, was playing professionally in the ECHL, is the first Mississippi-born player to appear in an NHL game.
