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.

Carrier sustained an undisclosed injury in the third period and did not return to Sunday's 5-2 to loss to the Capitals in Game 4, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier was injured twice in this showdown -- he went to the locker room in the first period but was able to return, though the right-shot blueliner was forced out of the game for good after being flattened by Tom Wilson in the final frame. Carrier will presumably be fully evaluated Monday, and he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Game 5 on Wednesday. If the 25-year-old is unable to suit up in a matchup that could end Montreal's season, Jayden Struble will draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch in Game 3.

Carrier scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked three shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Capitals in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier ended a 30-game goal drought with his tally Friday. The 28-year-old defenseman has two points, five shots on net, six hits and 11 blocked shots over three playoff outings. He continues to see time in a top-four role, and while he's more of a shutdown defenseman, he can help fantasy managers in need of non-scoring production.

Carrier logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and five blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier was limited to two assists and a minus-4 rating over the last 13 games of the regular season. He's still in a top-four role for the Canadiens, but he's likely to be deployed in more of a shutdown role during postseason play. The 28-year-old had 25 points, 82 shots on net, 169 blocked shots, 75 hits and a minus-10 rating over 79 regular-season outings between Montreal and Nashville in 2024-25.

Carrier logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. It had been a rough stretch for both Carrier and Mike Matheson lately, as they've essentially been the Canadiens' shutdown pairing while Lane Hutson flourishes on offense alongside Kaiden Guhle. Carrier is up to 24 points, 80 shots on net, 75 hits, 159 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 75 outings between the Canadiens and the Predators.

Carrier logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier ended an eight-game point drought with the helper on the first of Josh Anderson's two goals in the third period. The 28-year-old Carrier is currently serving on the Canadiens' top pairing alongside Mike Matheson, a duo that offers strong all-around play. Carrier is the more defensive of the two, and he's contributed 21 points over 64 contests between the Canadiens and the Predators this season. He's added 70 shots on net, 64 hits, 131 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating in 2024-25.

Carrier notched an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier set up a Patrik Laine tally at even strength in the first period. This ended a three-game dry spell for Carrier, matching his longest slump on offense since he was dealt to the Canadiens from the Predators. He's not a massive scoring threat, but he has chipped in at a reasonably consistent pace while seeing top-four minutes. He's earned 13 of his 20 points this season while with Montreal, and he's added 58 shots on net, 53 hits, 105 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating across 55 outings overall.

Carrier scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier buried a long-range shot off a turnover in the third period. The defenseman continues to play steady in a top-four role, and he earned a point in consecutive games for the first time since Dec. 21-23. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to three goals, 19 points, 54 shots on net, 51 hits, 94 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 51 appearances. Carrier's offense isn't elite, but he can do enough to help fantasy managers with all-around production.
