Carrier will be sidelined 2-4 weeks after sustaining an upper-body injury, the Habs announced Tuesday.

Fri, Jan 30, 2026 at 3:35 AM

Carrier scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

Scouting Report

One of the smaller defensemen in the NHL compensates for his lack of size with his mobility and hockey sense, enabling him to play 20-plus minutes on a regular basis. He moves the puck well and is sound defensively, though he has a tough time holding off bigger forwards. His big shot makes him a useful weapon on the power play.

Long Range Potential: Mobile, minute-munching defenseman.
