For the season, he's at six goals, 17 points, 46 shots on net, 121 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 54 appearances. Carrier continues to have appeal in deeper fantasy formats, especially while he's being productive on offense.

The defenseman is up to seven goals, 22 points, 89 shots on net, 42 hits, 44 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 35 appearances this season.

He currently sits sixth in the league in scoring with 47 points from the blue line; he's tied with Cale Makar for third in goals.
