ARLINGTON — Alexandre Carrier will be a game-time decision with the Montreal Canadiens facing elimination in Game 5 against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.

Head coach Martin St. Louis said “a couple” players are game-time decisions, but did not want to reveal who else.

The Canadiens said Tuesday that Carrier was day-to-day after being hit by Capitals forward Tom Wilson in Game 4 on Sunday and exiting the game.

He joined a growing list of injured Canadiens with goaltender Sam Montembeault and winger Patrik Laine also out day-to-day.

St. Louis said Laine was not an option to enter the lineup in Game 5, while Montembeault did not travel with the team to Washington. Forwards Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson, and defenceman David Savard did not skate Tuesday for “maintenance.”
