Playing career

Carr played collegiate hockey with the Union Dutchmen in the NCAA Men's Division I ECAC Hockey conference. In his senior year, Carr's outstanding play was rewarded with a selection to the 2013–14 ECAC Hockey All-Conference First Team.[1]

On April 24, 2014, as an undrafted free agent Carr signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League.[2]

In the 2015–16 season, on November 29, 2015, against the Carolina Hurricanes, Carr became one of few NHL players to score a goal on the first shot during the first shift of their NHL debut.[3] He re-signed with the Canadiens on July 1, 2016.[4]

On July 1, 2018, Carr signed as a free agent to a one-year, $750,000 deal with the Vegas Golden Knights after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Montreal Canadiens.[5] In the following 2018–19 season, Carr won the Les Cunningham Award as the AHL's MVP while he was assigned to the Golden Knights AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. He recorded a career best 30 goals and 41 assists for 71 points in just 52 games. He was recalled through the season to feature in 6 games for the Vegas Golden Knights posting 1 goal. In returning to the Wolves for the 2019 Calder Cup playoffs, Carr recorded 12 points in 15 games before falling in the Finals to the Charlotte Checkers.

On July 1, 2019, Carr was rewarded for his outstanding season in securing a one-year, one-way $700,000 contract as a free agent with the Nashville Predators.[6]

gollark: C also has horrible dependency management but that's more of a convenience issue than a security one.

gollark: HERESY!
gollark: > @a russian spy tools like static analysers and valgrind?Those are something. But languages which are safe and do not permit such errors in the first place are arguably better.
