Sitting out Tuesday Carrier (lower body) will not be an option against the Lightning on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Still, the longer Carrier is out due to his lower-body issue, the more concerning it becomes regarding his availability for Opening Night against the Lightning on Oct. 11.

Agrees to six-year deal Carrier signed a six-year, $12 million contract with the Hurricanes on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Carrier had six goals, eight points, 89 hits and 39 regular-season contests with the Golden Knights on Monday. It's interesting that Carolina decided to make a six-year commitment to a forward who serves primarily on the fourth line, but the cap hit is reasonable, and Carrier is still just 29, so this contract might work out fine for both sides.

The 29-year-old winger logged six goals, eight points and 89 hits across 39 games in an injured-plagued campaign.

APRIL 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to IR Carrier (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL's media site.

Impact Carrier has missed the last five games and did not travel for Vegas' two-game road trip, so this is simply a procedural move. He'll be eligible to return once he's healthy. The 29-year-old has just eight points in 39 games this season.

Gets goal in second game back Carrier scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Devils.

Impact Carrier tied the game at 1-1 with a goal in his second game back from an upper-body injury that kept him sidelined for more than two months. The 29-year-old winger has resumed his usual fourth-line role, so he doesn't offer much fantasy upside. He's produced six goals, two assists, 58 shots on net and 76 hits through 35 outings this season.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Off long-term injured reserve Carrier (upper body) was activated off long-term injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site. He's expected to play Thursday versus Calgary.

Impact Carrier was last in the lineup Jan. 4. He has five goals and seven points in 33 appearances in 2023-24. Carrier will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity in his return.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Poised to return Thursday Carrier (upper body) is expected back in the lineup versus Calgary on Thursday after he told reporters, " I feel 100 percent and ready to go."

Prior to getting hurt, the winger was struggling to produce offensively with just two goals and two assists in his prior 24 outings. In order to play Thursday, Carrier will need to be activated off long-term injured reserve.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to LTIR Carrier (upper body) was transferred to long-term injured reserve on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

Impact This is a move to help the Golden Knights' cap situation. Carrier has already missed over two months with the injury, which required surgery in January. He'll be eligible to return whenever he's deemed healthy, as long as the Golden Knights can generate enough cap space to activate him.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed week-to-week after surgery Carrier (upper body) is considered week-to-week after undergoing surgery.

Impact Carrier has already been out of action for five of the last seven games, and it doesn't sound like he's anywhere near a return. The 29-year-old has filled a fourth-line role this season, so he shouldn't be a noticeable absence for fantasy managers while he recovers.

JANUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Carrier (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Carrier was expected to miss some game action already, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. There is still no clear timeline for when the 29-year-old winger might be back in the lineup. For now, Pavel Dorofeyev should be in contention for increased opportunities in both top-six and power-play roles.

JANUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss time Carrier will miss time with an upper-body injury, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Carrier was out of the Golden Knights' lineup Saturday. He missed three contests in late December, but it's unclear if that absence is related to his current injury. With Carrier out for an undetermined amount of time, look for Grigori Denisenko to hold down a fourth-line role unless Vegas calls up another forward.
