Jeff Carter News
Doesn't sound like anything serious but Carter continues to scare the Columbus fanbase with various lower-boy ailments. Last season the versatile forward scored 36 goals and 66 points over 80 games with the team. He is expected to at least pot 30 goals in his first season as a Blue Jacket.
The versatile forward has a bruised foot from blocking a shot, one that the team hopes to not re-injure during the exhibition game. Watch this situation carefully.
Sticking with the plan, Carter will play tonight and probably center Rick Nash. The versatile forward has a bruised foot from blocking a shot, one that the team hopes to not re-injure during the exhibition game. Watch this situation carefully.
Regardless of it just being a bruise, Carter clearly has a weakness in his feet. Be wary of this injury if you own him as it could linger into the regular season.
Although the injury only appears to be a bruise, Carter has surgery on both feet this past offseason. This malady could be a sign for a nagging injury, which is enough to worry fantasy owners. Regardless, Carter has missed only 10 games over the past two seasons.
Despite the warning signs from Philadelphia, Carter will start his career in Columbus at center. One way or another he will play with superstar Rick Nash, which should keep his fantasy value in check.
Carter looked stiff according to most reports during practice but most media believe he will draw in.
