Nabs assist in return Carrier logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning in Game 1.

Impact Carrier missed nine games to close out the regular season, but he's ready to roll in the playoffs. He'll get a top-four role right out of the gate this postseason, but expect the defenseman's minutes to decline once Noah Dobson (upper body) returns. Carrier had 22 points over 73 regular-season outings, and in prior playoff runs, he's collected 10 points over 21 appearances.

Returns to practice Friday Carrier (upper body) participated in Friday's practice session on the second defensive pairing, Marc Antoine Godin of Radio-Canada reports.

Impact Carrier has been sidelined since late March due to his upper-body injury, and he was initially expected to miss 2-4 weeks. He's reached the short range of that threshold, and his participation in Friday's practice signals that he could return to action for the start of postseason play. However, the Canadiens haven't yet revealed his status for Sunday's Game 1 against the Lightning.

Suffers upper-body injury Carrier will be sidelined 2-4 weeks after sustaining an upper-body injury, the Habs announced Tuesday.

Impact Even if Carrier is on the short end of his recovery timeline, he figures to miss the rest of the regular season. With the blueliner on the shelf, Lane Hutson could see a significant uptick in ice time while Adam Engstrom steps into the lineup. Assuming this is the end of Carrier's regular season, he'll end the year having generated a career-high seven goals to go with 15 assists

Finds twine in shootout loss Carrier scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact Carrier snapped a four-game point drought with the effort. The 29-year-old blueliner has seen third-pairing minutes lately with Kaiden Guhle taking on a larger role. Carrier is versatile enough to succeed anywhere for the Canadiens, and he's earned seven goals, 19 points, 53 shots on net, 132 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 61 appearances. While his on-ice value is as strong as ever, his current usage isn't optimal for fantasy, though he can still help in formats that count blocked shots.
