Carrier was removed from Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks for precautionary reasons due to a right knee injury, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Carrier had two assists in the contest prior to his exit. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't sound overly concerned about Carrier's status, and he'll have some extra time to heal before the Hurricanes' two-game set in Finland versus the Kraken. The first game of the NHL Global Series is Thursday.
