2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carrier finished the 2024-25 regular season with three goals, 25 points, 40 PIM, 82 shots, 75 hits and 169 blocks across 79 appearances with Nashville and Montreal. That was pretty typical of the 28-year-old (29 on Oct. 8) in terms of offensive production -- it was the third time in four seasons that he has recorded between 20 and 30 points -- but it was a career high for him in blocks, surpassing his 137 from 2023-24. Spending a full season with Montreal likely won’t meaningfully change his value, especially after he logged 51 regular-season outings with the Canadiens in 2024-25, but his plus-minus rating should be better than last year’s minus-10 rating. The damage came from a minus-14 showing with the struggling Predators prior to the trade, but he was plus-4 with a Montreal squad that squeaked into the playoffs. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Signed a three-year, $11.25 million contract with the Predators in July of 2024.
Suffers upper-body injury
Carrier will be sidelined 2-4 weeks after sustaining an upper-body injury, the Habs announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Even if Carrier is on the short end of his recovery timeline, he figures to miss the rest of the regular season. With the blueliner on the shelf, Lane Hutson could see a significant uptick in ice time while Adam Engstrom steps into the lineup. Assuming this is the end of Carrier's regular season, he'll end the year having generated a career-high seven goals to go with 15 assists

Carrier again filled a depth role for Nashville a season ago, appearing in 73 regular-season games. He posted a career-best four goals, to go along with 16 assists, 77 shots on goal, 60 hits and 137 blocks. Carrier doesn't offer much in terms of counting statistics, but the Predators were clearly happy with his on-ice contributions, inking him to a new three-year, $11.25 million contract July 1. The monetary commitment suggests Carrier could be in line for an increased role this coming year, possibly alongside newcomer Brady Skjei on the club's second defensive pairing.
