Oleksiak is expected to draw back into Vancouver's lineup on Tuesday.

Guillaume Brisebois will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Oleksiak to re-enter the lineup. The 33-year-old Oleksiak has had an eventful first season in Vancouver so far, averaging 18:39 time-on-ice, recording three points (1G / 2A), a -4 plus/minus, and 11 hits in six games.

Vancouver has signed Jamie Oleksiak to a two-year contract worth $5 million AAV ($10M total).

Oleksiak has been a member of the Seattle Kraken since their inaugural season in 2021-22, but will have a change of scenery after signing a two-year contract with the Vancouver Canucks. The 33-year-old defenseman scored 15 points (5G / 10A) in 78 games last season.

Oleksiak (undisclosed) left last game early with an injury and will be a game-time decision on Thursday in Vegas.

Oleksiak played only 9:49 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Oleksiak has 10 points (2G / 8A), 98 hits, and 150 blocks in 67 games this season.

Oleksiak (COVID-19) will not play on Tuesday.

After being added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday, there was some hope that Oleksiak would be cleared to play tonight. However, Oleksiak remains in protocol with only Marcus Johansson getting cleared to play. Jeremy Lauzon is expected to take Oleksiak's spot in the lineup.

The Seattle Kraken have signed Jamie Oleksiak to a five-year, $23 million contract.

Oleksiak found a comfort zone on a pairing with Miro Heiskanen in Dallas but was selected in the Expansion Draft and signed to a five-year deal with a $4.6M AAV cap-hit. Oleksiak brings a little offence, scoring nine goals with 15 assists (24 points) in 125 games over the last two seasons. However, it's the physicality that the 6-foot-6, 255 lbs. blueliner brings that Kraken fans will love--Oleksiak ranks sixth among defensemen in hits (301) over the last two seasons.
