Following his winning score, the 31-year-old winger is up to five goals, 10 points, 45 shots on net and 91 hits through 38 games this season. His goal Saturday was his second over Carolina's past three games. Carrier's recent production offensively has complemented his consistent production in hits, as he averages just shy of 2.5 hits per game this season. The 10-year NHL veteran is 26 hits shy of 1,500 in his career, giving him a milestone to chase in the near future.
