Jamie Oleksiak continues steady production with assist in win

Jamie Oleksiak recorded an assist, four shots on goal, and six blocked shots in Seattle’s 6-2 victory over San Jose on Thursday. The defenseman has quietly put together a strong offensive stretch, tallying two goals and four assists over his last 11 outings while stepping into a top-four role with Ryker Evans (upper body) sidelined.

Fantasy Impact

Oleksiak’s recent offensive contributions are a nice bonus, but his fantasy value primarily comes from his defensive stats. With 112 blocked shots, 40 hits, and 47 shots on goal through 53 games, he offers appeal in deeper leagues that emphasize physical play and defensive categories. However, his scoring tends to be streaky, making him a situational add rather than a must-roster player.
