Habs Defenceman Alexandre Carrier to Miss Two to Four Weeks with Injury
Alexandre Carrier will miss two to four weeks due to an upper-body injury, prompting the Canadiens to recall Adam Engstrom from the Laval Rocket as a replacement.
- On Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens announced defenceman Alexandre Carrier will be sidelined for two to four weeks with an upper-body injury, prompting the recall of Adam Engstrom from the Laval Rocket.
- Carrier's absence leaves Noah Dobson as the Canadiens' only healthy right-shot defenceman, while Carrier previously ranked second on the team in penalty-killing ice time behind Mike Matheson.
- Engstrom, a 22-year-old selected in the 2022 NHL Draft, recorded 10-24-34 totals across 45 games with the Rocket and is comfortable playing on the right side despite shooting left.
- Montreal faces the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday in Tampa, aiming to extend its season-high five-game winning streak without Carrier for the first time this season.
- Trailing the Lightning and Buffalo Sabres by four points in the Atlantic Division, this final regular-season matchup could preview a potential first-round playoff series.
