Doughty was suspended one game for an illegal check to the head by the NHL Department of Player Safety.
Game 2 of the best-of-7 series at T-Mobile Arena on Friday (10 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVAS, ATTSN-RM, PRIME).
Carrier, who returned to the lineup April 3 after missing two months with an undisclosed injury, did not practice Thursday. He played 8:49 and had a game-high 10 hits in Game 1.
If Carrier is unavailable to play Friday, Oscar Lindberg or Ryan Reaves will take his place. Reaves, who was a healthy scratch in Game 1, was acquired Feb. 23 in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He played 21 games for Vegas and was the primary replacement for Carrier on the fourth line while he was injured.
Golden Knights forward David Perron's status (undisclosed) also remains unclear heading into Friday. Perron, who led Vegas with 50 assists in the regular season, has not played since March 26. Rookie forward Alex Tuch has replaced him on the second line.
Gallant said Perron will be re-evaluated after morning skate Friday.
"He's getting close. He's skating," Gallant said. "But, until he's ready, I'm not sure."
