The moment Mathieu Olivier stepped on the ice at Bridgestone Arena in a Nashville Predators uniform on Nov. 19, he set an NHL first.
A few nights later, his assist on a goal from Colton Sissons on Saturday evening in St. Louis saw him attain another mark that had never been accomplished before in League history.
OK, so there is a technicality in these feats. Although he calls Quebec City and the surrounding area home, Olivier was actually born in Biloxi, Mississippi, back in February of 1997 when his father, Simon, was skating for the Mississippi Sea Wolves of the ECHL.
