Scores shorthanded goal Carter scored a shorthanded goal in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win against Detroit.
Impact Carter brought his nine-game goal drought to a close with a crucial goal that helped the Penguins in their hunt for a wild-card spot. During his goal slump, the veteran center managed just five shots, so he'll need to shoot the puck more to continue finding the back of the net.

Good to play Carter (upper body) will draw back into the lineup for Thursday's game against Columbus, per the NHL media site.
Impact Carter has nine goals and 12 points in 61 appearances this season. He missed four straight contests due to the injury. Johnny Gruden is set to be a healthy scratch because of Carter's return.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Not playing Tuesday Carter (upper body) won't play Tuesday against Carolina.
Impact Carter will miss his fourth straight contest. He has nine goals, 12 points and 71 hits in 61 appearances this season. Samuel Poulin will play on the fourth line due to Carter's absence.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time call Carter (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game versus Carolina, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Impact If Carter's able to go, he'll likely slot into a fourth-line role against the Hurricanes. He's notched nine goals and 12 points through 61 contests this season.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Sunday Carter (upper body) won't play Sunday against the Avalanche, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact It'll be the third straight game Carter's missed since suffering the injury. The 39-year-old veteran has nine goals and 12 points in 61 games this season. Jesse Puljujarvi will likely remain in the lineup in Carter's absence.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out against Stars Carter (upper body) won't be in the lineup versus Dallas on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact Carter will miss his second straight game due to his upper-body issue, which will likely see Jesse Puljujarvi slot back into the lineup. Still, the veteran Carter did travel with the team for its two-game road trip and could still be an option against Colorado on Sunday.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Traveling with team Carter (upper body) will join the Penguins for their two-game road trip, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Impact Carter's presence on the trip could see him return either Friday or Sunday against Dallas or Colorado, respectively. The 29-year-old center hasn't been overly productive this season with just 12 points in 61 outings but should be back in a fourth-line role once given the all-clear. Jesse Puljujarvi and Emil Bemstrom are both candidates to serve as a healthy scratch whenever Carter returns.
MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable against Devils Carter will miss Tuesday's matchup with New Jersey due to an upper-body injury, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact Carter was labeled day-to-day, so he could still be an option to face Dallas on Friday. The 39-year-old veteran has struggled to produce this season, recording just nine goals and three assists in 61 games. His age, expiring contract and lack of production has led to speculation this will be Carter's final season. Until then, the Penguins will have to decide between Jesse Puljujarvi, Johnny Gruden and Joona Koppanen for the final spot in the lineup Tuesday.

Tips in goal Carter scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Impact Carter got a piece of a Ryan Graves shot in the third period, extending the Penguins' lead at the time to 3-1. The tally was Carter's first point since Feb. 6, though he's maintained a fourth-line role as injuries have thinned out the Penguins' wing depth. The 39-year-old forward has seven goals, two assists, 64 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-6 rating over 52 appearances on the year.

Scores in win Carter scored a goal on two shots in a 6-5 win over Boston on Thursday.
Impact Carter has two goals in his last four contests while recording just five shots. The veteran center is firmly cemented in a fourth-line role this season, which is likely to limit his minutes and could see him miss the 30-point threshold for the second consecutive year.

Yohe: Jeff Carter deserves high praise A resurgent — and humble — Jeff Carter is making a real difference for the Penguins.
JANUARY 5 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Two tallies including GWG Carter scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added a shorthanded tally in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
Impact He also chipped in four shots on net, two PIM, two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating. Carter had only one goal and two points in 20 games coming into Tuesday's contest, so the 38-year-old doesn't seem likely to repeat this offensive outburst any time soon, but if he keeps his spot on the second power-play unit, he could still put together his 19th straight season with double-digit goals.
