Carrier played in two games during his call-up but heads back to the AHL now that Dante Fabbro is back in the lineup. Carrier has four goals and 21 assists (25 points) in 34 AHL games this season.
Price stopped all 31 shots that he faced in the Canadiens shutout win over the Flames on Monday. After an ugly six-game losing streak, Price has won two straight while stopping 72 of the last 73 shots (.986 SV%) that he's faced. The Flyers are terrific on home ice but are also on the tail-end of a back-to-back with an inexperienced netminder in the other crease.
Armia has been out since December 23rd but was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and head coach Claude Julien said he's close to returning. Julien added that he's "very doubtful" for Wednesday which makes him at least questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.
Price allowed done goal on 42 shots in the Canadiens win in Ottawa on Saturday. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for Price, who now has a 3.32 GAA and .894 SV% since Christmas. Tonight he faces a Flames team that has won five in a row while scoring 3.40 goals per game.

Carrier was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Matt Irwin in Winnipeg. Carrier did not record a point in 8:49 TOI in his season debut in Anaheim last Sunday.
Gallagher returned from a concussion on Thursday but missed Friday's practice with headaches. Gallagher was scheduled to undergo testing to determine whether or not the headaches were concussion-related or something else, but that hasn't been determined yet. The team elected to leave him back in Montreal for precautionary reasons as they travelled to Ottawa.
Price surrendered three goals on 27 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Jets on Monday. Charlie Lindgren started Tuesday in Detroit, so they'll come back to Price tonight vs. Edmonton. He's on a five-game losing streak (0-4-1), posting a 3.89 GAA and .874 SV% since Christmas and could have a tough time with Connor McDavid in town. The Oilers are 2-0-1 while averaging 4.00 goals per game in the first three games of their current road-trip.
Gallagher missed the last four games with a concussion but will play Thursday vs. the Oilers. Gallagher was back on the top line and top power-play unit in Thursday's morning skate and comes in with 13 points (5G / 8A) in his last 13 games.
Price allowed three goals on 37 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Penguins on Saturday. That's four straight losses for Price, who has posted a 4.08 GAA and .871 SV% during that time. Tonight he faces the Jets for the second time this season--he stopped 27 of 29 shots in a 6-2 win in Winnipeg in the Canadiens' final game before the Christmas break.
Carrier was a fourth-round pick in 2015 who has spent most of his career in Milwaukee and has 25 points (4G / 21A) in 34 games this season. The 23-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since 2016-17 but could make his debut this weekend with Ryan Ellis (upper-body) going on IR.
Price gave up six goals on 34 shots in the Canadiens loss in Florida on Sunday. Price has lost three of his last four starts (1-3-0) while posting a hideous 4.37 GAA and .857 SV%. Charlie Lindgren gave him the night off on Tuesday but that didn't help. Tonight he faces the Lightning for the third time--he is 0-2-0 with a 4.15 GAA and .846 SV% in the first two meetings.
The Canadiens confirmed that Gallagher suffered a concussion on Tuesday and will be out indefinitely. This is obviously a huge blow for Montreal, who lost part of their dominant top-line. Gallagher is second on the team in goals (15) and points (32) in 40 games this season.
Gallagher suffered an upper-body injury that is likely a concussion in the second period of Tuesday's loss to the Hurricanes. Gallagher was hit in open-ice but was hurt when Ben Chiarot inadvertently kneed him in the head on his way to the ice. Dale Weise was called up from the AHL on Wednesday, suggesting that Gallagher will not be available Thursday vs. Tampa Bay.
