Carrier (upper body) won't return to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals versus the Golden Knights on Saturday.
Carrier was battling the injury throughout the game. He went to the locker room a second time during the second period and would not return for the third. The Hurricanes may be taking a cautious approach -- Carrier was officially ruled out for the game when Carolina trailed 4-0. His status for Game 4 on Tuesday is uncertain.
