After a quiet campaign offensively, he has at least one point in back-to-back games. He should continue to play middle-six minutes on the wing for the remainder of the regular season.

Stuck in goal drought Carrier's goal drought reached 20 games in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Impact Carrier has just three assists to go with 21 shots on net and 50 hits in that span. The 31-year-old still remains the Hurricanes' preferred source of fourth-line toughness even after the team acquired Nicolas Deslauriers from the Flyers at the trade deadline. Carrier has produced 14 points, 71 shots on net, 148 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 61 outings this season, giving him minimal fantasy upside.

Puts away goal Carrier scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Senators.

Impact Carrier picked up his first goal in three contests since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him four games. He has three goals over his last six outings, though Carrier's fourth-line role will keep him from being too much of a regular on offense. The winger is up to six goals, 11 points, 50 shots on net, 98 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 41 appearances in 2025-26. Aside from a drop in physicality, those numbers are nearly identical to his work in 43 regular-season outings last year.

Ready to return Carrier (lower body) is expected to play Monday versus Buffalo, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

Impact Carrier missed four straight games due to the injury. He has five goals, 10 points and 91 hits in 38 outings in 2025-26. Jesperi Kotkaniemi might be a healthy scratch against the Sabres due to Carrier's return.

Ruled out for Friday's matchup Carrier (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Panthers, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact Carrier was considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup, but he'll be forced to miss a third consecutive game. The Hurricanes will face the Devils in the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday, and it's not yet clear whether Carrier will be in the mix to suit up in New Jersey. Jesperi Kotkaniemi will presumably remain in the lineup against Florida on Friday.

Game-time call for Friday Carrier (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus Florida on Friday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Carrier has missed the last two games. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that he is hopeful that the winger will return to the lineup Friday. Carrier had a goal in two of his last three games before the injury, giving him five goals, 10 points and 91 hits over 38 games this season.

Unavailable Tuesday Carrier (lower body) won't play against St. Louis on Tuesday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Carrier will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has chipped in five goals, 10 points, 45 shots on net and 91 hits over 38 appearances this season. Due to Carrier's absence, Jesperi Kotkaniemi will remain in the lineup.

Won't play Monday Carrier will be sidelined versus the Red Wings on Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Carrier has struggled to produce this year, generating 10 points in 38 games, but could be headed for another stint on the shelf due to this latest injury. With the veteran winger unavailable, Jesperi Kotkaniemi looks set to come into the lineup, though the Canes could decide to utilize Mike Reilly as a seventh defenseman instead. With a back-to-back, Carrier seems unlikely to play versus the Blues on Tuesday.

Nets game-winning goal Carrier scored the game-winning goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 win over Seattle.

Impact Carrier struck the back of the net with just over six minutes to go in regulation for Saturday's go-ahead goal. Following his winning score, the 31-year-old winger is up to five goals, 10 points, 45 shots on net and 91 hits through 38 games this season. His goal Saturday was his second over Carolina's past three games. His recent production offensively is a nice boost to his fantasy value that heavily relies upon hits, as he averages just shy of two and a half hits per game this season. The 10-year NHL veteran is 26 hits shy of 1,500 in his career, giving him a milestone to chase in the near future.

Adds goal in big win Carrier scored a goal, put three shots on net, served four PIM and had four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

Impact Carrier tallied the lone goal of the third period for Carolina in response to the Stars' tally at the start of the period. With the twine finder, he is up to four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net and 89 hits through 36 outings this season. While his blend of stats might not warrant consideration in fantasy outside of deep leagues that value banger stats, his impact on the Canes' fourth line has been solid. He is just two points shy of matching his total of 11 during his first season with the Hurricanes, giving him plenty of time down the stretch to surpass that total and push for the third 20-plus point, 100-plus hit season of his career.
