Carrier (upper body) won't be an option versus the Rangers on Tuesday despite participating in the game-day skate, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier's absence is compounded by the fact that Roman Josi (lower body) and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) also remain unavailable heading into Tuesday's matchup. Even once cleared to return, the 28-year-old Carrier probably won't offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has gone 20 straight games without a goal while recording just 15 shots and three helpers over that stretch.

Carrier (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier sat out Tuesday's game in Calgary after he was helped off the ice in the third period of Saturday's contest against Ottawa. Carrier has a goal, six assists, 31 hits and 49 blocked shots across 28 appearances with the Predators this season. He is considered week-to-week at this time. Nashville called up Kevin Gravel from AHL Milwaukee earlier in the day to replace Carrier on the blue line.

Carrier (upper body) is week-to-week after being injured in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Ottawa, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier has accounted for one goal, six assists, 23 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and 31 hits through 28 appearances this season. Marc Del Gaizo will likely replace Carrier in Tuesday's lineup versus Calgary.

Carrier (undisclosed) missed Monday's practice session, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier was injured against Ottawa on Saturday and should probably be considered a doubt heading into Tuesday's game versus the Flames. The blueliner isn't exactly known for his offensive upside considering he has just one goal this season and is currently in a 20-game goal drought, during which he's added a mere three helpers. If Carrier is out Tuesday, Adam Wilsby is expected to move up to the top pairing with Roman Josi, while Marc Del Gaizo is likely to enter the lineup.

Carrier (undisclosed) needed to be helped off the ice in the third period of Saturday's game versus the Senators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier logged an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier has two helpers over his last four outings after putting up just one assist across the previous 14 games. The 28-year-old has seen top-four minutes for the bulk of the campaign, but that hasn't led to more offense amid the Predators' struggles. The blueliner is at a reasonable seven points with 21 shots on net, 28 hits, 43 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 26 contests. He's on pace to reach the 20-point mark for the third time in four years.

Carrier produced an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. The 28-year-old defenseman has held steady in a top-four role for much of the campaign, but the lack of offense has torpedoed his fantasy value. He's at a modest six points with 19 shots on net, 22 hits, 39 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 23 contests, and he's not a factor on the power play.

Carrier notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier ended a four-game slump when he helped out on a Steven Stamkos tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Carrier continues to see prominent minutes in a top-four role, averaging 20:16 of ice time while contributing five points, 11 shots on net, 14 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 13 outings. His fantasy utility depends on non-scoring production, particularly blocks, though he's off to a decent start in 2024-25 given the Predators' team-wide struggles.

Carrier scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier's first goal of the year came at 4:09 of the third period, tying the game at 3-3. The defenseman has earned three of his four points on the year over the last two games. He's contributed eight shots on net, eight hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through eight outings. Carrier doesn't see much power-play time, but he can help fantasy managers in need of blocks or PIM.

Carrier recorded two assists in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Carrier had his first multi-point effort of the season, assisting on goals by Filip Forsberg and Gustav Nyquist as the Predators recovered from a two-goal deficit. The 28-year-old Carrier has been a top-four option on the blue line this year, though he features mainly in a defensive role. He has three assists, six shots on net, 12 blocked shots, five hits and a minus-4 rating over seven appearances.
