Carr had a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Carr was added to the power play last week and registered his first goal since joining the man-advantage unit. The fourth-line winger has at least one point in six of the eight games he's played since being called from AHL Laval. Consistent scoring like that is something a coach notices and rewards with power-play ice time.

Carr practiced on the second power-play unit Wednesday, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll join Max Pacioretty, Alex Galchenyuk, Brendan Gallagher and Jeff Petry on the power play for Thursday night's game against New Jersey. Carr is being rewarded for his contributions since being called up from AHL Laval. The 26-year-old forward has two goals and five assists over five games while playing with lesser-skilled forwards on the fourth line.

Carr assisted on Phillip Danault's third-period goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Carr now has points in all five games since his callup from AHL Laval and has replaced Jacob De La Rose as a fourth-line regular. Head coach Claude Julien has lauded the play of his fourth line over the last few games, which is partially attributable to the offense being generated by the unit. Julien welcomes any source of offense for a team that ranks 25th with 2.7 goals per game.

Carr will skate on the fourth line Saturday night against Edmonton, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carr, who was called up from AHL Laval last week when Jonathan Drouin was idled by a lower-body injury, will remain in the active lineup as Drouin returns Saturday. The 26-year-old forward has points in all four games since being called up.

Carr scored a goal on three shots and added a hit in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Carr has six points since being called from AHL Laval, including at least one point in all four games. That's good production for a fourth-liner. The 26-year-old, who has 24 points in 60 career games with the Canadiens, looks like he might be staying in Montreal well after Jonathan Drouin (illness) returns to the active lineup.

Carr had an assist and three hits over 12:32 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Carr has earned points in all three games he's played with the Canadiens, providing a nice boost of offense from the fourth line. He was called up when Jonathan Drouin's lower-body injury cropped up last week, but Carr's offensive capability might be enough to keep him around when Drouin is ready to play again.

Carr was promoted from AHL Laval on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Less than 24 hours after being sent down, Carr is back with the Habs after what was likely just a paper transaction for cap purposes. The winger racked up four points in his two outings with Montreal, a pace that will be hard to keep up, especially considering he has yet to break the 10-point threshold or play in a full 82-game season. The Alberta native's presence in the lineup against the Blues on Tuesday is likely tied to the status of Jonathan Drouin (lower body).

Carr was reassigned to AHL Laval on Sunday, per the league's transactions page.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's demotion will be a tough pill to swallow for Carr, as he managed to rack up four points in the two games he played during his recall. That said, Carr will remain near the top of the pile whenever the Habs are forced to recall a forward in the event of injury.

Carr had a goal and two assists in 10:46 of ice time in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Carr has fit in well with the parent club after being promoted from AHL Laval on Thursday. In two games, the 26-year-old has a goal and three assists. However, it's definitely worth noting that when Jonathan Drouin (lower body) is ready to return, either Carr or Jacob De La Rose will likely be removed from the starting lineup.
