What's behind Alexandre Carrier's decline with Canadiens?

The acquisition of defenceman Alexandre Carrier in a trade with the Nashville Predators a week before Christmas last year was a turning point in the season for the Canadiens, who ended up making the playoffs for the first time in four years.

But Carrier has struggled this season and has a minus-10 differential heading into Wednesday night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets at the Bell Centre.

What happened?

That’s the question answered on this Hockey Inside/Out Show bonus episode as The Gazette’s Stu Cowan is joined by former Canadiens teammates and 1986 Stanley Cup champions Chris Nilan and Rick Green.

Green, the No. 1 overall pick by the Washington Capitals in the 1976 NHL Draft, played 15 seasons in the league before becoming an assistant coach for 11 seasons, including four with the Canadiens. Green offers some advice for Carrier to get his game back on track.
