MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens defenceman Alexandre Carrier will be out for two to four weeks with an upper-body injury, the NHL club announced Tuesday.
Carrier logged just over 19 minutes in Montreal’s last game, a 3-1 win at Carolina on Sunday.
He has seven goals and 15 assists and is averaging 19:05 of ice time over 73 games this season.
Carrier’s injury leaves Noah Dobson as the Canadiens’ only healthy right-shot defenceman.
The Canadiens announced Carrier’s injury a day after recalling defenceman Adam Engstrom from the American Hockey League’s Laval Rocket.
Montreal, third in the Atlantic Division, looked to extend its winning streak to six games Tuesday in a road game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
