The 28-year-old defenseman got his first goal of the campaign at 3:34 of the third period, tying the game at 3-3 and ultimately forcing overtime.

Carrier logged two assists and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Carrier has picked up seven helpers over 12 contests with the Canadiens.

Carrier is up to 14 points, 40 shots on net, 68 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-13 rating over 40 appearances this season when accounting for his time with Nashville. While his ice time is largely unchanged with Montreal, his productivity is up to a level that allows him to be a depth option in fantasy.

Carrier provided an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Carrier ended a three-game slump with the helper. He's earned five assists over nine outings since he was traded to Montreal from Nashville. Carrier has steadily seen top-four usage with the Canadiens, but he's not a factor on the power play, which limits his upside. He's produced 12 points, 34 shots on net, 42 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 37 appearances in 2024-25.

Carrier (upper body) was taken off injured reserve prior to his trade to Montreal on Wednesday, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
With his injury concern behind him, Carrier should be in the mix to suit up for his new club against the Red Wings on Friday and will likely take the place of Jayden Struble in the lineup. The 28-year-old Carrier won't offer a ton of offense for the Habs considering he's managed just seven points through 28 games so far this year, but he could still produce in the 20-30 point range.

Carrier (upper body) was traded from the Predators to the Canadiens on Wednesday in exchange for Justin Barron.
EDGE Analysis
Carrier remains on injured reserve for now, but he participated in a morning skate Tuesday prior to the Predators' game against the Rangers. Per Eric Engels of Sportsnet, Carrier has been cleared to play, so expect him to be activated in short order. The 28-year-old is in the first season of a three-year contract and has often filled a top-four role in Nashville. He should continue to do so in Montreal, though power-play time is unlikely with Lane Hutson and Mike Matheson already established in that situation. Carrier has seven points, 49 blocked shots, 31 hits, 23 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 28 appearances this season.
