Golden Knights’ head coach Gerard Gallant would not confirm any lineup changes, but based on the morning skate it looks like Carrier will replace Ryan Reaves. Carrier has yet to record a point in nine playoff games but brings a physical edge to the fourth line.
Carrier played just 1:03 TOI before left the game in Washington and is questionable for Tuesday’s game in Pittsburgh. Head coach Gerard Gallant said postgame that he did think it’s anything serious and listed him as day-to-day.
Carrier is day-to-day with an upper-body injury so he will be held out of the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. Stefan Matteau is expected to draw in for his Golden Knights debut to replace Carrier.
Carrier was in the lineup for the last three games, but will come out tonight because of a knee injury. Carrier is expected to miss “a bit” of time, so the Sabres have recalled Justin Bailey from Rochester (AHL). Consider Carrier as day-to-day.
Carrier played just 1:23 TOI before retiring to the dressing room following a fight with Adam McQuaid. The Sabres have recalled Justin Bailey this morning, which suggests that Carrier will not be available for Saturday’s game vs. the Bruins.
Carrier, 21, was a second round pick (57th overall) in 2013 and is expected to make his NHL debut on Saturday. Carrier had registered three goals and one assist in seven games with Rochester this season.
