Top Alexandre Carrier News

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Snags assist

    Carrier notched an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    This was Carrier's third assist over the last five games. He's also blocked 10 shots with a plus-7 rating in that span, providing steady offense and defense from a third-pairing role. Carrier is at 17 points, 45 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 53 outings overall.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Slings helper in win

    Carrier logged an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

    This was Carrier's second point over five games since the All-Star break. The 27-year-old blueliner has held down a steady bottom-four role this season, though a lack of power-play time has suppressed his offense. He's at 16 points, 44 shots on net, 48 hits, 104 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 51 appearances this season.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Ready to rock

    Carrier (upper body) is expected to play Saturday versus the Coyotes, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

    Carrier missed the last game before the All-Star break, but it appears the time off gave him ample time to heal. The 27-year-old will play in a bottom-four role, while Dante Fabbro will come out of the lineup.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Not playing Wednesday

    Carrier (upper body) will not play Wednesday versus the Kings.

    Carrier was apparently injured Monday versus the Senators, and it will cost him a game heading into the All-Star break. The 27-year-old defenseman will be replaced by Tyson Barrie, who was a healthy scratch for the prior four games.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Game-time call Wednesday

    Carrier (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision against the Kings on Wednesday after leaving Monday's clash with Ottawa in the second period, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

    Carrier logged just 8:01 of ice time Monday, registering two shots and one hit. The blueliner has managed just four goals and 10 assists in 46 games this season and seems unlikely to reach the 30-point threshold as he did back in 2021-22. If Carrier were to miss out Wednesday, Jeremy Lauzon figures to step into a spot on the third pairing.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Scores in win

    Carrier scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Wild.

    Carrier got Nashville on the board 1:44 into the third period, beating Filip Gustavsson with a wrister from an open slot to tie the game 1-1. Carrier's offered modest offensive production of late -- he has four points in his last eight contests, including three of his four goals this season. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to 14 points with 91 blocked shots and 43 hits across 44 games this year while averaging 18:20 of ice time on the Preds' second defensive pairing.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Rips home late game-winner

    Carrier scored a goal and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.

    Carrier tallied with eight seconds left in regulation to give the Predators their first lead of the game. The defenseman hasn't been a consistent scorer this season, but he has two goals over his last three contests. He's at three tallies, 12 points, 30 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating through 39 appearances this season. Carrier mainly plays a defensive role in the Predators' top four.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Nets short-handed tally

    Carrier scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Anaheim.

    Carrier got the Predators on the board midway through the third period, initiating a Nashville rush with a blocked shot before beating Lukas Dostal for a shorthanded goal. The goal is Carrier's first since Nov. 22 and his first point in 10 games. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to 11 points (two goals, nine assists) with 78 blocked shots and 37 hits through 37 games this season.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Ready to play

    Carrier (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reports.

    Carrier was deemed week-to-week at the start of December but was only out for four games. The 27-year-old will return to a bottom-four role alongside Jeremy Lauzon on the second pairing. Carrier has eight points, 51 blocked shots and 20 hits through 22 games this season.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Out week-to-week

    Carrier (upper body) will be out of action week-to-week, according to Predators insider Alex Daugherty.

    Carrier was injured in the first period Thursday when he was hit by the Wild's Kirill Kaprizov. Carrier has a goal and seven assists in 22 games this season - his spot on the blue line will likely be taken by Dante Fabbro.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Can't finish contest

    Carrier (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Wild.

    Carrier was hurt early in the first period, but he wasn't officially shut down for the game until the second intermission. If the 27-year-old defenseman misses time going forward, the Predators may return to a 12-forward, six-blueliner lineup, which could allow Liam Foudy to draw back in. The Predators have a back-to-back this weekend with a home game versus the Rangers on Saturday before a road game in Buffalo on Sunday.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Nets first goal of season

    Carrier scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-2 home win against the Flames.

    Carrier's marker was his first of the season, with his last goal dating back to Dec. 19, 2022 against the Oilers, also at Bridgestone Arena. He ended up with one shot on goal, a blocked shot, a minor penalty and two hits in his 19:24 of ice time across 26 shifts.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Notches pair of helpers Saturday

    Carrier recorded two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

    Now with just four points (all assists) in 11 games this season, Carrier is on pace to match the career-high 30 points he posted back in 2021-22. He'll need a few more nights like this to do it, though, but he's making a case to remain in the lineup on a nightly basis. However, until we see a little more offensive consistency from him, it's hard to recommend Carrier as a reliable fantasy option in most formats.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Collects assist in win

    Carrier notched an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

    Carrier had an assist on Gustav Nyquist's third-period tally. Through two games this season, Carrier has been paired with Ryan McDonagh, a successful alignment for the Predators' defense. Carrier is up to six blocks and a plus-3 rating, and his assist Thursday was his first point of the campaign. The 27-year-old should continue to work as a top-four option, though he may continue to have more of a defensive focus.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Good to go

    Carrier (upper body) practiced with Group B in Thursday's first on-ice practice session at Predators training camp, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reports.

    Carrier missed most of the latter half of the campaign in 2022-23. He was limited to just nine points, 67 blocked shots and 57 hits over 43 contests, dropping from a top-pairing role in 2021-22 to a fringe role due to his injuries. He'll have to earn his spot back in 2023-24, especially following the addition of Luke Schenn in free agency.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Reaches one-year deal

    Carrier (upper body) signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Predators on Saturday, per PuckPedia.

    Carrier was a restricted free agent prior to the deal. The 26-year-old defenseman was limited to 43 games last season, recording two goals, seven assists, 67 blocked shots and 57 hits. He'll likely play a bottom-four role for the Predators in 2023-24 before potentially reaching unrestricted free agency next summer.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Out 4-6 weeks

    Carrier (upper body) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, Alex Daugherty of AtoZ Sports Nashville reports.

    Carrier was injured in Thursday's 2-1 win over Florida following a shot block. He has supplied nine points, 48 shots on goal, 67 blocks and 57 hits in 43 contests this campaign. There is a chance that Carrier could return before the end of the season.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Suffers injury Thursday

    Carrier (undisclosed) didn't complete Thursday's game versus the Panthers, Emma Lingan of the Predators' official site reports.

    Carrier didn't feature in the final 40 minutes of the contest, though it's unclear what prompted his exit. This was his third game back from an upper-body injury, though it's not clear if his exit Thursday is related to the previous issue. The Predators' road trip continues Saturday in Chicago.

  • Predators' Alexandre Carrier: Draws helper in return

    Carrier notched an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.

    Carrier ended up missing a month with an upper-body injury, right in line with his expected 4-to-6 week timeline. The 26-year-old worked on the second pairing and saw 19:36 of ice time in this contest. Carrier has nine points, 46 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 55 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 41 appearances. He should stick in a top-four role the rest of the way, so he may have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats if he can get his offense on track.
