Predators' Alexandre Carrier Blasts Home Point Shot For Late Go-Ahead Goal

MAY 1, 2024 • YOUTUBE

Generates helper Carrier picked up an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

Impact Carrier helped out on a Mark Jankowski goal in the first period. Carrier has a helper in each of the last two games, and he's added two hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over four playoff outings. The 27-year-old continues to fill a top-four role as a mainly defensive presence, so he shouldn't be expected to put up many points.

Out Monday Carrier (undisclosed) will rest for Monday's season finale against Pittsburgh.

Impact Carrier left Saturday's game against Columbus for precautionary reasons and it sounds like he's healthy. The 27-year-old blueliner should be back in the lineup for the postseason. He finishes the 2023-24 campaign with four goals, 20 points and 137 blocked shots in 73 games.

Exits Saturday's game Carrier (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets for precautionary reasons, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Impact Carrier had an assist and four blocked shots in 15:38 of ice time Saturday. While the precautionary label suggests it's not a major issue, the Predators have been aggressive in resting players leading up to the playoffs. Carrier also recently missed time with an upper-body injury, so there's no guarantee he'll play Monday's regular-season finale versus the Penguins.

Playing Tuesday Carrier (upper body) will return to action against the Bruins on Tuesday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Carrier returns following a three-game stint on the sidelines due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was stuck in both a 22-game goal drought in addition to a nine-game pointless streak. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on Carrier offering much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

Still sidelined Carrier (upper body) won't play Saturday against Colorado, per Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site.

Impact Carrier will miss his third straight contest. He has been credited with four goals, 19 points, 68 shots on net, 127 blocked shots and 55 hits in 66 contests this campaign. Spencer Stastney will play versus the Avalanche due to Carrier's absence.

MARCH 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Thursday Carrier (upper body) isn't available for Thursday's contest against Arizona, per Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site.

Impact Carrier is set to miss his second straight game because of the injury. He has four goals, 19 points, 40 PIM, 55 hits and 127 blocks in 66 outings in 2023-24. Spencer Stastney will return from an upper-body injury Thursday, but once Carrier is healthy too, Stastney might not have a spot in the lineup.

MARCH 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Tuesday Carrier (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights.

Impact Carrier is in the midst of a nine-game point drought, so his absence likely won't have a large impact in fantasy. With Carrier out, Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) is likely to return Tuesday.

Snags assist Carrier notched an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact This was Carrier's third assist over the last five games. He's also blocked 10 shots with a plus-7 rating in that span, providing steady offense and defense from a third-pairing role. Carrier is at 17 points, 45 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 53 outings overall.

Slings helper in win Carrier logged an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact This was Carrier's second point over five games since the All-Star break. The 27-year-old blueliner has held down a steady bottom-four role this season, though a lack of power-play time has suppressed his offense. He's at 16 points, 44 shots on net, 48 hits, 104 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 51 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to rock Carrier (upper body) is expected to play Saturday versus the Coyotes, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Carrier missed the last game before the All-Star break, but it appears the time off gave him ample time to heal. The 27-year-old will play in a bottom-four role, while Dante Fabbro will come out of the lineup.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Wednesday Carrier (undisclosed) will not play Wednesday versus the Kings, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Impact Carrier was apparently injured Monday versus the Senators, and it will cost him a game heading into the All-Star break. The 27-year-old defenseman will be replaced by Tyson Barrie, who was a healthy scratch for the prior four games.

FEBRUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Wednesday Carrier will be a game-time decision against the Kings on Wednesday after leaving Monday's clash with Ottawa in the second period, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Impact Carrier logged just 8:01 of ice time Monday in which he registered two shots and one hit. The blueliner has managed just four goals and 10 assists in 46 games this season and seems unlikely to reach the 30-point threshold as he did back in 2021-22. If Carrier were to miss out Wednesday, Jeremy Lauzon figures to step into his spot on the third pairing.

Impact Carrier got Nashville on the board 1:44 into the third period, beating Filip Gustavsson with a wrister from an open slot to tie the game 1-1. Carrier's offered modest offensive production in late -- he has four points in his last eight contests, including three of his four goals this season. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to 14 points with 91 blocked shots and 43 hits across 44 games this year while averaging 18:20 of ice time on the Preds' second defensive pairing.

Impact Carrier tallied with eight seconds left in regulation to give the Predators their first lead of the game. The defenseman hasn't been a consistent scorer this season, but he has two goals over his last three contests. He's at three tallies, 12 points, 30 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating through 39 appearances this season. Carrier mainly plays a defensive role in the Predators' top four.

Nets short-handed tally Carrier scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Anaheim.

Impact Carrier got the Predators on the board midway through the third period, initiating a Nashville rush with a blocked shot before beating Lukas Dostal for a shorthanded goal. The goal is Carrier's first since Nov. 22 and his first point in 10 games. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to 11 points (two goals, nine assists) with 78 blocked shots and 37 hits through 37 games this season.

Ready to play Carrier (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reports.

Impact Carrier was deemed week-to-week at the start of December but was only out for four games. The 27-year-old will return to a bottom-four role alongside Jeremy Lauzon on the second pairing. Carrier has eight points, 51 blocked shots and 20 hits through 22 games this season.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Can't finish contest Carrier (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Wild.

Impact Carrier was hurt early in the first period, but he wasn't officially shut down for the game until the second intermission. If the 27-year-old defenseman misses time going forward, the Predators may return to a 12-forward, six-blueliner lineup, which could allow Liam Foudy to draw back in. The Predators have a back-to-back this weekend with a home game versus the Rangers on Saturday before a road game in Buffalo on Sunday.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets first goal of season Carrier scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-2 home win against the Flames.

Impact The 27-year-old rearguard scored his first goal of the season, and he light the lamp for the first time since Dec. 19, 2022 against the Oilers, also at Bridgestone Arena. Carrier ended up with one shot on goal, a blocked shot, a minor penalty and two hits in his 19:24 of ice time across 26 shifts.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches pair of helpers Saturday Carrier recorded two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Now with just four points (all assists) in 11 games this season, Carrier is on pace to matching the career-high 30 points he posted back in 2021-22. He'll need a few more nights like this to do it, though, but he's making a case for himself to remain in the lineup on a nightly basis. However, until we see a little more offensive consistency from him, it's hard to recommend him as a reliable fantasy option in most formats.

NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects assist in win Carrier notched an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact Carrier had an assist on Gustav Nyquist's third-period tally. Through two games this season, Carrier has been paired with Ryan McDonagh, a successful alignment for the Predators' defense. Carrier is up to six blocks and a plus-3 rating, and his assist Thursday was his first point of the campaign. The 27-year-old should continue to work as a top-four option, though he may continue to have more of a defensive focus.

OCTOBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Carrier (upper body) practiced with Group B in Thursday's first on-ice practice session at Predators training camp, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reports.

Impact Carrier missed most of the latter half of the campaign in 2022-23. He was limited to just nine points, 67 blocked shots and 57 hits over 43 contests, dropping from a top-pairing role in 2021-22 to a fringe role due to his injuries. He'll have to earn his spot back in 2023-24, especially after the addition of Luke Schenn in free agency.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches one-year deal Carrier (upper body) signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Predators on Saturday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Carrier was a restricted free agent prior to the deal. The 26-year-old defenseman was limited to 43 games last season, recording two goals, seven assists, 67 blocked shots and 57 hits. He'll likely play a bottom-four role for the Predators in 2023-24 before potentially reaching unrestricted free agency next summer.

JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury Thursday Carrier (undisclosed) didn't complete Thursday's game versus the Panthers, Emma Lingan of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Carrier didn't feature in the final 40 minutes of the contest, though it's unclear what prompted his exit. This was his third game back from an upper-body injury, though it's not clear if his exit Thursday is related to the previous issue. The Predators' road trip continues Saturday in Chicago.
