Carrier (upper body) was traded to the Canadiens from the Predators on Wednesday in exchange for Justin Barron.
Carrier remains on injured reserve for now, but he participated in a morning skate Tuesday prior to the Predators' game against the Rangers. Per Eric Engels of Sportsnet, Carrier has been cleared to play, so expect him to be activated in short order. The 28-year-old is in the first season of a three-year contract and has often filled a top-four role in Nashville. He should continue to do so in Montreal, though power-play time is unlikely with Lane Hutson and Mike Matheson already established in that situation. Carrier has seven points, 49 blocked shots, 31 hits, 23 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 28 appearances this season.
