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.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Returning Saturday
Carrier (lower body) will suit up Saturday against Rangers, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Carrier will rejoin the Hurricanes from a 39-game absence after undergoing surgery in January. The 30-year-old forward has four goals and nine points in 39 games with Carolina this year. He'll likely take over a bottom-six role over the final week of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Won't play vs. Washington
Carrier (lower body) isn't available for Thursday's clash against Washington, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Carrier hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 4, but he is expected to return before the start of the playoffs. He has four goals, nine points and 136 hits in 39 appearances in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Still shelved against Sabres
Carrier (lower body) will not be in action versus Buffalo on Tuesday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Carrier has seemingly been making strides in his recovery, but he will have to wait at least one more game before getting back in the lineup. The 30-year-old winger has been out of action since Jan. 4 versus the Wild, a stretch of 37 games on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. Still, barring a setback, it looks like Carrier could be ready to play when the postseason kicks off -- if not sooner.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Status unclear for Tuesday
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Monday that he isn't yet sure whether Carrier (lower body) will be available for Tuesday's game against Buffalo, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier participated in Monday's practice session, which Brind'Amour called a "good sign." Carrier has been sidelined since early January, and he underwent surgery late in January. Even if the 30-year-old isn't available against the Sabres, it seems possible that he'll be able to return sometime during the final week and a half of the regular season.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Expected to return for playoffs
Carrier (lower body) is expected to be available to return before the start of the postseason, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports Friday.
Carrier underwent surgery in late January to address a lower-body injury, and while he doesn't yet have a precise timetable to return to action, it appears as though he'll be back on the ice before the playoffs begin in late April. Over 39 appearances with the Hurricanes this season, Carrier has recorded four goals, five assists, 136 hits and 16 PIM while averaging 11:37 of ice time.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Undergoes surgery
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday that Carrier (lower body) has undergone surgery and is facing a long-term absence, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Carrier had missed the last 10 games due to his lower-body injury, and he'll be sidelined indefinitely following Friday's update. Although there isn't a timetable for the 30-year-old's return, Brind'Amour indicated Friday that he hopes Carrier will be able to return before the end of the season. Carrier made 39 appearances prior to sustaining his injury, and he logged four goals, five assists, 136 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-2 rating while averaging 11:37 of ice time.

Carrier (lower body) didn't participate in Sunday's practice and still has no timeline for his return to the lineup, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier has already missed the last seven games and doesn't appear close to being an option for the Hurricanes. He has contributed four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 136 hits through 39 appearances this season. During Carrier's absence, Juha Jaaska has occupied a bottom-six spot in the lineup.
