MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens say defenceman Alexandre Carrier is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, putting him in doubt for Game 5 of the team’s NHL first-round playoff series with the Washington Capitals.
The Canadiens updated Carrier’s status Tuesday. He joins a growing list of injured Canadiens with goaltender Sam Montembeault and winger Patrik Laine also out day-to-day, though Laine did skate at Tuesday’s practice.
Carrier left the ice in the third period of Game 4 after being hit by Capitals forward Tom Wilson. The hit led to a tying goal and sparked the Capitals to a 5-2 victory.
Carrier has two assists and is averaging just over 20 minutes of ice time over the first four games of the series.
