Alexandre Carrier Fantasy Stats

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexandre Carrier (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup with the Washington Capitals. Montreal faces elimination in Game 5 and may have to do without Carrier after he was injured in Sunday's Game 4. Carrier has recorded two points (one goal, one assist), six shots, 11 blocks, and seven hits in the series, averaging 20:07 of ice time across four games. If Carrier isn't ready to play on Wednesday, Jayden Struble will likely step into the lineup for his third postseason appearance. Struble has been very quiet in the playoffs, registering zero points with one shot and a minus-two rating.

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexandre Carrier (undisclosed) was injured during Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals. He did not see any action in the final 13 minutes of play after absorbing a massive hit from Capitals forward Tom Wilson. Carrier also made a brief exit in the opening period. He logged 13:39 of ice time in the game, registering one shot on goal and one hit. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis provided no update on Carrier after the game. His absence for the remainder of the series would be a significant blow for Montreal, as Carrier is known for his shot-blocking abilities and has also contributed offensively. In four games, he has recorded two points (one goal, one assist), 11 blocks, and seven hits.

The Nashville Predators have traded defenseman Alexandre Carrier (upper body) to the Montreal Canadiens, with defenseman Justin Barron heading in the opposite direction. Carrier has so far spent his entire NHL career in Nashville, recording 69 points (11 goals, 58 assists) in 245 games with 279 shots, 409 blocks, and 268 hits. The 28-year-old departs Music City only a few months after signing a three-year, $11.25 million extension. Montreal has allowed the second-most goals in the league (3.65) and Carrier should help the team with the situation, but he doesn't offer anything to fantasy managers. Carrier has nursed an upper-body injury lately but is reportedly healthy again.

Averaging over 20 minutes of ice time per game, Carrier has contributed one goal and six assists in 28 games this season. He's second on the team with 49 blocks and has delivered 31 hits. Marc Del Gaizo is expected to replace Carrier in the lineup on Tuesday against Calgary.

Nashville Predators defenseman Alexandre Carrier (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with the Kings. He was limited to only eight minutes of action against Ottawa on Monday due to an unspecified ailment, but it looks like Carrier has a chance to play on Wednesday versus Los Angeles. The 27-year-old has notched 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 46 appearances this season while also making a mark on the defensive end with 92 blocks.

Nashville Predators defenseman Alexandre Carrier (upper body) is considered week-to-week after he was injured in Saturday's game against Ottawa. The 26-year-old will miss his third game of the season Monday versus St. Louis, and it looks like it will take a while before he's healthy again. Carrier does very little offensively, with him sitting on one point in 23 games, but he has brought a physical presence to the lineup and boasts 30 hits for the campaign with 27 blocks. With Jeremy Lauzon (upper body) also having gone down with an injury at the weekend, the Predators have called up Kevin Gravel and Roland McKeown from the AHL, and both players are set to enter the lineup Monday.
