Good sign-77 Carter working with #1 PP unit in practice-still day-to-day!
Carter practicing on the top PP is a great sign. Look for the sniper to be ready on Game 1 despite the consistent obfuscation of head coach Darryl Sutter.

Jeff Carter practicing w/Kings. One of four guys in white jersey
Carter is practicing alongside linemates Dwight King and Mike Richards which is a good sign.
Malkin just took a tumble into the boards. Sitting a drill out. But seems ok.
Don't expect Malkin to miss any playing time. The superstar center won the Art Ross with 109 points on the season.
Carter continued to work on shooting and skating with B. Nicholls-defintely improving as of this morning!
Carter shooting on the side is definitely a good sign. The scoring winger still needs a team practice before he can return.

No word on whether Karlsson will miss tonight's game. He scored 19 goals and 77 points in 79 games this season.
No sign of Carter or Voynov.
Carter remains questionable to play over the next week or two. Despite having no structural damage, it appears that his foot will keep him sidelined for a few more games.
Carter underwent an MRI exam and it revealed a deep bone bruise and no structural damage. He is day-to-day.

Letang is back in the lineup for today's game. He scored nine goals and 36 points in only 47 games.

It'll be a game-time call on playing Kris Letang. #Pens & #Flyers at 12:30
Should the Pens decide to play their offensive d-man it will likely be in a reduced role. He scored nine goals and 36 points in only 47 games.
Nothing really new on Jeff Carter. He will have MRI on Monday. Doubtful that he could able to play that night, even in best-case scenario.
Sounds like Carter will miss the next three games. He has six goals and nine points in 16 games with the Kings.
Crosby good to go.
Crosby is OK following a shot to the face. The superstar center has four goals and 25 points in 17 games.
Jeff Carter, in walking boot, said ankle is "pretty sore." He will get evaluated by team doctors in L.A. on Sunday.
Carter will miss the rest of the week so most head-to-head formats should drop him if they face elimination.
Darryl Sutter quipped that Jeff Carter’s status for tonight is “probably doubtful. Or doubtful, probably.” Carter didn’t get anywhere near the ice this morning.
No word on how long Carter will miss but he's really given this Kings' offense life. He has six goals and nine points in 16 games with the Kings.
The Kings are practicing today without Jeff Carter, whose status is in doubt for tomorrow’s game. Hoping to get a further update after practice, but Carter apparently suffered some type of lower-body injury last night.

Letang won't play Thursday or Friday
Letang isn't expected to miss too much time but the All-Star will rest an ailing lower-body injury. He scored nine goals and 36 points in only 47 games.
Ray Shero just told me Letang's fine. Not a big deal.

Line Change
Eller moves back to center with white and blunden on his wings.
Eller moves back down to the third line for tonight's tilt. He scored 16 goals and 28 points in 73 games.
No Letang or Lovejoy for #Pens at morning skate -SK
Letang not practicing could be an indication he sits out tonight's game. The offensive defender has clearly been banged up and was even held off the top PP unit as of late.
