Alexandre Carrier will return to the Predators' lineup Monday Edmonton (upper-body).

Carrier has not played since Dec. 10th due to an upper-body injury but will return a bit ahead of plans Monday after originally being considered week-to-week. The 26-year-old has one goal, 26 SOG and eight PIMs through 23 games prior to the injury and will lineup on a pair with Mattias Ekholm.

The Predators have signed Alexandre Carrier to a three-year contract extension worth $2.2 million (733K AAV).

Carrier, who was selected in the fourth round back in 2015, spent most of his fourth professional season in Milwaukee (AHL), amassing 37 points (5G / 32A) in 55 games, which was tied for seventh-best among AHL blueliners. He also appeared in three games with the Predators but failed to get on the scoresheet. With Dan Hamhuis, Korbinian Holzer and Yannick Weber all set to become unrestricted free agents this offseason, there is a path for Carrier to be a full-time third-pairing defenseman in Nashville next season.
