EDGE Analysis

Carter has participated in the Kings' last few morning skates, indicating he's close to rejoining the lineup, but still isn't quite ready to return to game action. The 31-year-old center, who has tallied 28 points (11 goals, 17 assists) in 34 games this season, will hope to return to action Monday against Colorado.
