Carrick notched an assist, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
Carrick got on the scoresheet for the first time since he scored Opening Night. The 32-year-old center has provided two points, nine shots, two hits, two blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-4 rating. He's a lock for the lineup in a fourth-line role, but it's not an assignment that's likely to lead to much offense.

Rangers' Sam Carrick: Tallies in team debut
Rotowire
Carrick scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.
Carrick was signed in free agency to center the fourth line, and it didn't take him long to make an impact in his Rangers debut. His goal opened the scoring at 2:24 of the first period. It was his first career game-winning goal. The 32-year-old could play a larger role with the Blueshirts than he did down the stretch with Edmonton last season. That said, Carrick has never reached the 20-point mark in a single season, and his fourth-line usage isn't something that is likely to lead to a large increase in offense.

Rangers' Sam Carrick: Headed for Big Apple
Rotowire
Carrick secured a three-year, $3 million contract with the Rangers on Monday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
Carrick will provide New York with some bottom-six depth, likely serving as a replacement for Barclay Goodrow, who was waived by the team back in mid-June. The 32-year-old Carrick saw action in 77 regular-season contests for the Ducks and Oilers last year in which he generated 10 goals and six helpers. The Ontario native is unlikely to offer significantly more than that in terms of offensive contributions in 2024-25 but could offer some value in formats that value hits after logging a career 167 hits in 2023-24.

Oilers' Sam Carrick: Game-time decision
Rotowire
Carrick (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Monday in Game 2 versus Florida, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.
Carrick participated in Monday's morning skate, so it's unclear if he's dealing with an injury or if his spot in the lineup is a coach's decision. He has been scratched for three of Edmonton's last four playoff outings, including Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. Carrick has one assist, four shots on goal and 29 hits in nine outings this postseason. If he plays, Corey Perry might be a healthy scratch.

Oilers' Sam Carrick: Hands out helper
Rotowire
Carrick posted an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Sabres.
Carrick has two points over his last three games, accounting for all of his offense across six contests since he was traded from the Ducks to the Oilers. The 32-year-old has mainly filled a fourth-line role with the Oilers, though the team's top-heavy forward group has led to him seeing a dramatic drop in actual ice time. He's at 13 points, 81 shots on net, 148 hits, 100 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 67 appearances this season.
Oilers' Sam Carrick: Scores first goal with new team
Rotowire
Carrick scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Carrick snapped a seven-game point drought with his third-period marker. The 32-year-old center has been in the lineup for four of the five games the Oilers have played since they acquired him from the Ducks. He's produced 12 points, 79 shots on net, 145 hits, 95 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 65 appearances. Carrick's main competition for playing time is Derek Ryan, as both forwards can kill penalties, though Carrick offers a bit more grit.
Carrick and Adam Henrique were traded from Anaheim to Edmonton in exchange for a first-round pick and a conditional fifth-round pick Wednesday. The Oilers also received a seventh-round pick in the deal, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Carrick is mired in a scoring slump with just one point in his last 14 games. The center figures to take on a bottom-six role for Edmonton and his arrival will likely push Sam Gagner to the minors. Given his offensive struggles, Carrick is unlikely to offer much value from a fantasy standpoint down the stretch.

Overall, he has seven goals, three assists, 59 shots on net, 64 PIM, 76 hits and a minus-7 rating through 47 appearances, so he's unlikely to sustain enough offense to help in fantasy.

Ducks' Sam Carrick: Offense goes cold
Rotowire
Carrick was held off the scoresheet for the 14th straight game in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
Carrick's last point was a goal Dec. 13 versus the Islanders. The 31-year-old forward has eight points, 53 shots on net, 52 PIM, 74 hits and a minus-6 rating through 42 appearances. He's frequently been a fourth-liner in a weak offense, so there isn't much fantasy appeal in his role or his production.
