Predators' Matt Carle: Reduced role so far in 2016-17
Carle is a minus-3 with zero points through four games this season.
Analysis:
What's worse, Carle is averaging just 12:10 in ice time skating on the Preds' third defensive pairing, which not a good sign in terms of future production. Any fantasy owners who took a flier on Carle this season, hoping he might show signs of the 40-point player he once was, are likely to be sorely disappointed.
