28 William Carrier LW

Carrier scored a goal and doled out five hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks in Game 1 of their first-round series.

Carrier made the most of his 11:03 of ice time Tuesday, with his second-period tally holding up as the game-winner. The 25-year-old winger has two goals, 13 hits, 10 shots and a plus-2 rating in four playoff games. He'll likely be limited to a fourth-line role -- outside of physicality, he doesn't offer much to fantasy managers.

Carrier scored the game-winning goal and had a team-leading six shots with four hits in Monday's 5-3 round-robin win over Dallas.

Carrier received a carom off the end boards and deftly went between his legs with his back to the net to put the Golden Knights up 4-3 with 5:13 left in the third period. It was the third of four straight Vegas goals in the final 10:14 of regulation and was the first career playoff tally for Carrier. The 25-year-old appeared in a career-high 71 games during the regular season, amassing seven goals and 12 assists.

Carrier supplied an assist in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.

Carrier had the primary helper on Ryan Reaves' third-period insurance tally. It was a bit of an odd game for Carrier -- he failed to record a hit for the first time Feb. 11 and just the fourth time all season. The 25-year-old winger now has 19 points, 205 hits, 97 shots on net and 39 PIM through 68 contests. He skated in his 200th game Tuesday -- Carrier has just 39 career points over parts of four seasons.

Carrier signed a four-year, $5.6 million contract extension with the Golden Knights on Thursday.

Carrier has been a physical force for Vegas since joining the team via the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, racking up 589 hits in 156 appearances despite averaging just 9:36 of ice time per contest. The 25-year-old winger will continue to provide the Golden Knights with a physical edge up front over the next four seasons, but he won't be a useful fantasy option in most formats due to his lack of offensive upside.

Carrier posted a goal on four shots, two hits and four PIM in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

Carrier scored the tying goal at 12:39 of the second period on a pass from Chandler Stephenson. Through 10 games in February, Carrier has two goals, two assists and 28 hits. He's at 18 points, 190 hits and 90 shots on goal in 63 contests this year.

Carrier delivered an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

The physical winger extended his career-high output to 16 points in 57 games. Carrier has added 171 hits, 81 shots and 33 PIM this season. His strong play has earned him a spot on the third line, although he'll likely go back to a more suitable fourth-line role when Cody Glass (lower body) and William Karlsson (upper body) return to the lineup.

Carrier scored a goal on his only shot and dished out three hits Tuesday in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

Carrier got the Golden Knights on the board with his sixth goal of the year late in the first period. The goal was his first since Dec. 23 and busted a 14-game goal skid. The 25-year-old has a career-high 15 points in 55 games but doesn't provide much fantasy production outside of hits leagues.

Carrier notched an assist, five hits, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.

Carrier had the lone helper on Cody Glass's second-period tally, which would stand as the game-winner. Carrier continues to enjoy career-best production with 12 points, 70 shots on goal and 129 hits through 44 outings. While he doesn't score enough to be reliable in season-long fantasy, he can make an impact in DFS formats that reward physicality.

Carrier scored a goal, dished five hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Carrier's third-period goal cut the Avalanche's lead to 5-3, but the Golden Knights didn't strike again. The 25-year-old is playing the best hockey of his four-year career, with 11 points, 113 hits, 62 shots on goal and 25 PIM through 40 contests.

Carrier notched an assist and tossed four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Carrier set up Tomas Nosek's goal in the third period, which would stand as the game-winner. With the helper, Carrier set a career high for points with 10 (four goals, six assists). He's up to 102 hits and 55 shots on goal in 37 games this year. While it's not exactly a breakout, the somewhat consistent offense could make the physical winger worth a look in deep fantasy formats.

Carrier lit the lamp on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to St. Louis.

Carrier secured points in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and saw 10:29 of ice time, up from his season average of 9:09. The 24-year-old is still tough to trust in the long run from a fantasy perspective, as he's up to nine points, 50 shots on goal and 91 hits in 34 games.

Carrier provided an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Carrier had the secondary assist on fellow hard-hitting winger Ryan Reaves' third-period tally. The helper snapped a six-game point drought for Carrier, who is up to eight points, 90 hits and 47 shots on goal in 33 contests this year.

Carrier earned a primary assist Monday in a 4-2 loss to the Stars.

The fourth-line grinder has three goals and a career-high four assists through 26 games. He's averaging just 9:04 of ice time per contest, albeit doing enough to keep him appealing as a cash-saving flier in DFS contests.

Carrier picked up an assist, four shots on goal and six hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Carrier set up Brayden McNabb for the tally in the third period. He has a respectable six points and an impressive 71 hits in 23 contests this year. Carrier had nine points and 277 hits in 54 contests last season -- the 24-year-old has a chance to top both marks if he stays healthy, but his heavy playing style could make that difficult.

Carrier scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Carrier opened the scoring at 2:58 of the first period, but his contribution to the offense wouldn't hold up well. It's his third goal and fifth point of the year in addition to 59 hits and 27 shots on goal in 20 contests.

Carrier set up Ryan Reaves' goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Carrier outmuscled Carter Rowney from the slot and on a delayed penalty, with the fourth-line winger feeding Reaves while falling to the ice. It's tough for Carrier to be a consistent offensive producer given his limited role, but he's still on pace for 25 points, which would smash his previous personal best of nine that he provided for Vegas last year.

Carrier scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

The Golden Knights' fourth line contributed an unexpected four points, with Carrier's pair leading the way. The winger also went plus-3 with six hits in the contest. Carrier has produced three points and 20 hits in the first five games of the year. The physicality will almost always be there for the 24-year-old, but his scoring shouldn't be expected to continue at this pace for long.

Carrier scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Not bad for 10:28 of ice time in the lopsided contest. Carrier is better known for his physical contributions -- he had 277 hits and only nine points in 54 games last season, so he's not a player fantasy owners will pay much attention.

Carrier racked up 11 hits over 11:10 of ice time in Saturday's 2-3 loss to the Red Wings.

Carrier set a new season high in hits Saturday -- the highest before then was 10 against Ottawa on Oct 28. The physicality was encouraging to see from someone who had just missed 14 games to an upper-body injury. The Quebec native now has a career-best 258 hits through 49 games this season.

Carrier (upper body) will be in action against the Red Wings on Saturday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Carrier will reprise his role as a gritty fourth-line contributor in charge of keeping the Wings off-balance. Still, he's only averaging 9:50 of ice time, so fantasy owners should look elsewhere for help at forward.
