Hurricanes' William Carrier: Game-time call for Friday
Carrier (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus Florida on Friday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Carrier has missed the last two games. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that he is hopeful that the winger will return to the lineup Friday. Carrier had a goal in two of his last three games before the injury, giving him five goals, 10 points and 91 hits over 38 games this season.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Unavailable Tuesday
Carrier (lower body) won't play against St. Louis on Tuesday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Carrier will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has chipped in five goals, 10 points, 45 shots on net and 91 hits over 38 appearances this season. Due to Carrier's absence, Jesperi Kotkaniemi will remain in the lineup.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Won't play Monday
Carrier will be sidelined versus the Red Wings on Monday due to a lower-body injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier has struggled to produce this year, generating 10 points in 38 games, but he could be headed for another stint on the shelf due to this latest injury. With the veteran winger unavailable, Jesperi Kotkaniemi looks set to come into the lineup, though the Hurricanes could decide to utilize Mike Reilly as a seventh defenseman instead. With a back-to-back, Carrier seems unlikely to play versus the Blues on Tuesday.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Nets game-winning goal
Carrier scored the game-winning goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 win over Seattle.
Carrier struck the back of the net with just over six minutes to go in regulation for Saturday's go-ahead goal. Following his winning score, the 31-year-old winger is up to five goals, 10 points, 45 shots on net and 91 hits through 38 games this season. His goal Saturday was his second over Carolina's past three games. Carrier's recent production offensively has complemented his consistent production in hits, as he averages just shy of 2.5 hits per game this season. The 10-year NHL veteran is 26 hits shy of 1,500 in his career, giving him a milestone to chase in the near future.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Adds goal in big win
Carrier scored a goal, put three shots on net, served four PIM and had four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.
Carrier tallied the lone goal of the third period for Carolina in response to the Stars' tally at the start of the period. With the twine finder, he is up to four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net and 89 hits through 36 outings this season. While his blend of stats might not warrant consideration in fantasy outside of deep leagues that value banger stats, his impact on the Canes' fourth line has been solid. He is just two points shy of matching his total of 11 during his first season with the Hurricanes, giving him plenty of time down the stretch to surpass that total and push for the third 20-plus point, 100-plus hit season of his career.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Plucks apple in return
Carrier logged an assist and five hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
Carrier missed one game due to an illness prior to the holiday break. The 31-year-old was back in his usual bottom-six role Saturday and should continue to play regularly in that spot. He has contributed eight points, 31 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-2 rating over 30 appearances this season.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Good to return Saturday
Carrier (illness) is set to play against Detroit on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Following a one-game absence, Carrier will serve on the third line alongside Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook (lower body), who will return after missing the last three contests. The 31-year-old Carrier has three goals, seven points, 30 shots on net and 58 hits in 29 appearances this season.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Unavailable Tuesday
Carrier (illness) won't suit up Tuesday versus the Panthers, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
The Hurricanes will be forced to dress seven defensemen to have a full lineup Tuesday. Carrier's illness probably won't linger too long, so he should be considered day-to-day for Saturday's contest versus the Red Wings.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Game-time decision
Carrier (illness) will be a game-time decision against Florida on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier didn't participate in Monday's practice and sat out Tuesday's morning skate, but there's still a possibility that he will be ready to play in Tuesday's game. He has contributed three goals, seven points, 30 shots on net and 58 hits through 29 appearances this season. If Carrier is unavailable to play, the Hurricanes will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, with Joel Nystrom and Mike Reilly in the lineup.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Ruled out Tuesday
Carrier (illness) will not be in action to face the Panthers on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
With Carrier on the shelf, the Canes are expected to utilize seven defensemen in Tuesday's lineup. The 31-year-old Quebec native has struggled offensively of late, generating a lone point in his last eight outings. At this point, Carrier seems unlikely to get over the 20-point threshold, a mark he hasn't reached since 2022-23 when he was with Vegas.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Misses practice Monday
Carrier didn't practice Monday due to an illness, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
It's not yet clear whether Carrier will be able to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Panthers, but even if he's sidelined, it seems unlikely that he'll miss extensive time. Over 10 appearances this month, Carrier has recorded two goals, 19 hits and three blocked shots while averaging 12:07 of ice time.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Opens scoring Sunday
Carrier scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.
Carrier opened the scoring at 5:44 of the first period. This was his second goal in the last six games. The 30-year-old winger remains a part of the Hurricanes' bottom six, but he hasn't offered much offense this season. He's at seven points, 30 shots on goal, 54 hits and a plus-1 rating over 26 outings.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Puts away goal Saturday
Carrier scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Predators.
Carrier ended a seven-game point drought with the tally. He has three points over 14 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury in early November. The 30-year-old winger is a bottom-six fixture for the Hurricanes and plays a heavy game, but he won't score a lot. He's at two goals, six points, 22 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating over 21 outings this season.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Playing Saturday
Carrier (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday against Buffalo, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.
Carrier's recovery was rather quick, as he was expected to be out of action for at least another week. He was injured Oct. 23 and has a goal and two assists in seven games this season. He is expected to see fourth-line action alongside Eric Robinson, who is returning from an upper-body injury, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi on Saturday.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Lands on injured reserve
Carrier (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Carrier is expected to be out for an extended period of time, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. The 30-year-old winger doesn't have a timeline to return. Charles-Alexis Legault was called up from AHL Chicago in a corresponding move.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Facing extended absence
Carrier (lower body) is expected to be out for an extended period of time after leaving Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier and Eric Robinson (upper body) are both not expected to be back in the near term, though a concrete timeline wasn't established. Expect one or both players to land on injured reserve to accommodate roster moves for the Hurricanes to be able to fill out their lineup Saturday in Dallas.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Exits Thursday's contest
Carrier (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Avalanche.
Carrier was injured in the first period, though further details weren't provided. If he can't suit up Saturday against the Stars, Mark Jankowski will likely draw in to replace Carrier in a bottom-six role.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Pots goal in Tuesday's win
Carrier scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and levied three hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
Carrier has started 2025-26 with a goal and an assist over three appearances. He's also posted nine hits, five shots and a plus-3 rating while filling a role on the Hurricanes' third line. Carrier's production is mostly in the physical parts of the game, but he can chip in a little depth scoring as well. Even when Carolina shuffles the forward groups, Carrier is unlikely to escape the bottom six.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Gathers assist
Carrier notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
Carrier brings a physical edge to a bottom-six role. He opened 2025-26 alongside Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook on the Hurricanes' shutdown line. Carrier is arguably the most physical of the three -- he's topped the 100-hit mark in all but one of his first nine NHL campaigns despite missing the 50-game mark four times in that span. However, his offense peaked at 25 points in 56 games for the Golden Knights in 2025-26, and he was limited to just 11 points in 43 regular-season outings a year ago, so there's not a lot of scoring upside in his game.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Earns helper in return
Carrier notched an assist and four hits in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.
Carrier missed 39 games after undergoing surgery to address a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old returns just in time to bolster the Hurricanes' fourth line ahead of the playoffs. He has 10 points, 43 shots on net, 140 hits and a plus-3 rating across 40 appearances this season, though his heavy playing style can leave him vulnerable to injuries.
