We can therefore expect Jayden Struble to be sidelined.
We're excited to see Carrier in action, especially after he mentioned last night that he's living out a childhood dream by becoming a player for the Montreal Canadiens.
Carrier, 28 years old, is a 5-foot-11, 174-pound right-shot defenseman who was selected in the 4th round by the Nashville Predators in 2015.
He has recorded 7 points in 28 games this season with Nashville and has a career total of 69 points in 245 games in the NHL. His best season was in 2021-2022, during which he scored 30 points in 77 games.
He now continues his professional journey with the Canadiens, and we are thrilled to have him on board.
Martin St-Louis also added that he likes the depth Carrier brings to the table:

I believe that's a unanimous sentiment.
