Carrier scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier has four goals over his last five games. The 29-year-old defenseman isn't known for his offense, but he's finding ways to contribute from a bottom-four role on the blue line. He's up to five goals, 16 points, 40 shots on net, 113 blocked shots, 22 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating across 50 appearances this season. Carrier looks to be a fixture in the lineup thanks to his shutdown skills.

Carrier scored a goal and blocked four shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier provided a clutch goal, tying the game with 3:19 left in the third period. The 29-year-old defenseman has three goals and three assists over his last eight outings. He won't keep up that scoring pace, but he is an important part of the Canadiens' defensive structure as the team's best shutdown blueliner. For the season, Carrier has contributed four goals, 11 assists, 35 shots on net, 113 blocked shots, 21 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 49 appearances.

Carrier scored two goals in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The two tallies came 20 seconds apart in the second period. Carrier snapped a 43-game goal drought with the surprising performance, with his only other goal on the season coming in the Habs' second game Oct. 9. The 29-year-old blueliner doesn't get paid for his offense, however. Through 46 games, Carrier's produced 14 points, 100 blocked shots, 33 shots on net, 20 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating.

Carrier logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier helped out on Brendan Gallagher's tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Carrier has seen big minutes as a shutdown defenseman in Montreal's top four, but he was limited to one helper over 15 outings in December. For the season, he's at 10 points, 29 shots on net, 20 hits, 87 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 42 appearances.

Carrier logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier has earned three helpers over his last nine outings. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to fill a third-pairing role on a blue line that has emerged as a strength for the Canadiens. Carrier is at eight points, 16 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 23 appearances this season, so he may have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Carrier notched two assists, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier has picked up three helpers over three games on this road trip out west. The 29-year-old set up the go-ahead goal by Mike Matheson and the eventual game-winner by Ivan Demidov in a span of 2:50 during the middle of the third period. Carrier doesn't get a ton of great offensive looks, but he receives plenty of ice time as a shutdown blueliner. He's at a goal, four assists, nine shots on net, 25 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating across 10 outings this season.

Carrier scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier stretched the Canadiens' lead to 4-1 in the second period. The 29-year-old defenseman is in line for a smaller role this season following Montreal's trade for Noah Dobson. Despite that, Carrier remains an effective shutdown blueliner and should be a fixture in the lineup with the ability to play more minutes when another defenseman is hurt. He should still be able of exceeding the 20-point mark, something he's done in three of the last four seasons.

Carrier (undisclosed) took warmups in his usual top-pairing spot, indicating he's expected to play in Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Capitals, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier was hurt in Sunday's Game 4, but it appears the two days off between games gave him enough time to be ready. He didn't practice Tuesday, but he was labeled a game-time decision Wednesday and looked fine in warmups. Carrier has a goal and an assist over the first four postseason contests.

Carrier (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 5 against Washington, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier sustained an injury during Sunday's Game 4 loss, and he missed Tuesday's practice session. The team will presumably wait to see how he feels during Wednesday's warmups before determining his status. Over the first four games of the series, he's recorded a goal, an assist, 11 blocked shots and seven hits while averaging 20:07 of ice time.

Carrier (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day and won't practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier struggled to produce for much of April but has picked up three points in his last five outings. In his 51 regular-season appearances for the Habs, he managed 18 points, which, when combined with his seven points with Nashville, gets him to the 20-point threshold for the third time in the last four years.
