DECEMBER 19, 2024 • NHL.COM

Removed from IR Carrier (upper body) was taken off injured reserve prior to his trade to Montreal on Wednesday, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic.

Predators trade Alexandre Carrier to the Canadiens for Justin Barron

The Nashville Predators traded defenseman Alexandre Carrier to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for blueliner Justin Barron

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • Associated Press

Heading north in trade Carrier (upper body) was traded from the Predators to the Canadiens on Wednesday in exchange for Justin Barron.

Impact Carrier remains on injured reserve for now, but he participated in a morning skate Tuesday prior to the Predators' game against the Rangers. The 28-year-old is in the first season of a three-year contract and has often filled a top-four role in Nashville. He should continue to do so in Montreal, though power-play time is unlikely with Lane Hutson and Mike Matheson already established in that situation. Carrier has seven points, 49 blocked shots, 31 hits, 23 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 28 appearances this season.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return Carrier (upper body) won't be an option versus the Rangers on Tuesday despite participating in the game-day skate, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

Impact Carrier's absence is compounded by the fact that Roman Josi (lower body) and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) also remain unavailable heading into Tuesday's matchup. Even once cleared to return, the 28-year-old Carrier probably won't offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has gone 20 straight games without a goal while recording just 15 shots and three helpers over that stretch.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Carrier (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Carrier sat out Tuesday's game in Calgary after he was helped off the ice in the third period of Saturday's contest against Ottawa.

Nashville called up Kevin Gravel from AHL Milwaukee earlier in the day to replace Carrier on the blue line.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from practice Monday Carrier (undisclosed) missed Monday's practice session, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Carrier was injured against Ottawa on Saturday and should probably be considered a doubt heading into Tuesday's clash with the Flames. The blueliner isn't exactly known for his offensive upside considering he has just one goal this season and is currently in a 20-game goal drought during which he's added a mere three helpers. If Carrier does miss out Tuesday, Adam Wilsby is expected to jump into the lineup in a pairing with Roman Josi.

The blueliner is at a reasonable seven points with 21 shots on net, 28 hits, 43 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 26 contests. He's on pace to reach the 20-point mark for the third time in four years.

Supplies helper in overtime loss Carrier produced an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Impact Carrier ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. The 28-year-old defenseman has held steady in a top-four role for much of the campaign, but the lack of offense has torpedoed his fantasy value. He's at a modest six points with 19 shots on net, 22 hits, 39 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 23 contests, and he's not a factor on the power play.

He's contributed eight shots on net, eight hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through eight outings. Carrier doesn't see much power-play time, but he can help fantasy managers in need of blocks or PIM.

Impact Carrier had his first multi-point effort of the season, assisting on goals by Filip Forsberg and Gustav Nyquist as the Predators recovered from a two-goal deficit.

Impact Carrier was the only Nashville defenseman to break even in plus-minus rating Tuesday, though he is minus-2 on the year. The helper was his first point to go with four blocked shots through three contests. Carrier may be trending upward -- he's still listed on the third pairing, but Dante Fabbro has seen less ice time while playing alongside Roman Josi at even strength. Carrier has reached 20 points in two of the previous three seasons while also being a strong shot-blocking presence, so he could have appeal in deep fantasy formats.

Impact Carrier deciding to re-up with the Predators will likely fly under the radar after the club signed top free agents Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault and Brady Skjei. Still, the 27-year-old Carrier should be in the mix for a spot on the blue line after tallying four goals and 16 assists in 73 regular-season contests last season.

The defenseman has a point in three straight contests, and he's added five shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through five postseason outings. Carrier appears to be a lock for a top-four role even though he is mainly in the lineup for his defensive contributions.
