Jeff Carter does not have any structural problems with his ankle, Dean Lombardi said, and Carter’s status is considered day-to-day. Carter does, however, have a painful injury and it’s not known exactly when he might be able to play again. This will, perhaps, come as a shock to people who post things on the Internet before Carter had even seen a doctor. Here’s what Lombardi said…
LOMBARDI: “No fracture, but he does have a very deep bone bruise. He’s listed as day-to-day, but the one thing we know is, there’s not any structural problem. It still is significant, but at least we know it’s not a structural issue.”
Question: Is he considered doubtful for the two games against San Jose?
LOMBARDI: “It’s hard to say. On the X-ray, you can see where the white is, and once the white is gone he’s probably OK. It’s really hard to say. He is day-to-day, but this is painful. Without going into details, where it is, it’s not easy.”
Get Better Carter!

@Lake Forest,
LOMBARDI: “It’s hard to say. On the X-ray, you can see where the white is, and once the white is gone he’s probably OK…”
On an X-ray, the ‘white’ (standard exposure without reversal, air black, bones white) must be soft tissue swelling. Of course, if he is talking about seeing a bone bruise, he could only see that on a MRI, not an X-ray. Fat-Sat images of an ankle MRI would have increased white signal at the site of a bone bruise, against a relatively black image.
Think Lidstrom’s bone bruise, 7 games, 2-3 weeks. April 12-19…
Be hard for Carter to play in the first round of the playoffs…

On the bright side Carter is a lot younger than Nik and bo doubt he probly heals a bit faster. I am guessing he is a go for game 1. I doubt the Kings make this info public this time of year. Better to keep people guessing as to what lineup they will be facing. Same with Gags although I imagine he is OFTROTS.

I’m 100% behind him in taking the game off today. But if it comes down to us needing 2 points on the final day to either get in or be 3rd, he needs to be in the lineup.
He just needs to think what would Matty Norstrom do?

@Jeff_R,
Yeah, MB said it was a joke. But I saw the ‘legit’ report saying Carter was indeed out.
A deep bone bruise can feel like a broken bone! I had one that kept me off the soccer field for a month. With a good trainer and some help from the “needle” I think Carter could play if we really need him.
Its all up to his pain threshold. I think it will give him confidence to know that he is not making the injury worse if he plays it’s just pain.
So…here is a quote from a famous movie…“Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.”
Picture Coach DS talking to Jeff…..”Jeff, you can destroy the Sharks, We have foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join us, and together we can rule the NHL and bring a Cup home to LA!!!!

I had a deep bone bruise in my knee as well, and it is painful! Lots of swelling.. It’s amazing though.. The day of a game I had, I was still unable to walk.. Yet once I put my skates on, and went out for warmups, the blood starts flowing, adrenaline kicks in, and the pain seems to temporarily dissipate until you stop playing.. After my game, I got home and showered, and then couldn’t walk again. As you said, if this was playoffs, he would probably play tonight.

Glad to hear Carter is (relatively) okay and is just day-to-day. Would love to have him back for the two Sharks games, but if the Kings are able to lock up a playoff spot before the last game at San Jose, I would prefer to rest him. Division title would be nice, but not worth it if Carter aggravates his ankle again and misses playoff time.

A lack of structural damage, is good, but hardly a cause for celebration. The question is not so much when he will play again, but how effective will he be when does play again. If all they did was an X-Ray which is what Lombardi, was quoted as talking about, then we don’t know about muscular damage, which would show up on an MRI, but not on an X-Ray.

As far as I am concerned this is great news. It sounds like the kind of injury you can play with pain and not risk too much further injury. Off topic, and if I am coming late to this party forgive me but I just figured out that the Prime Ticket broadcasts are televised in San Diego after all. The new channel that did a deal to televise the Padres – Fox Sports San Diego – is also televising Prime Ticket broadcasts. They are listed to show the Kings tonight. On Cox it is channel 1056 if you have HD.

Spray some windex on it. It’ll be good! Hopefully, the team will step up in his absence and not need him until the first round. If not, pain or no pain, he’d better lace ‘em up.

Save him for the first round. That will make him the most productive player he can be when we need him the most. If we can’t stay the course down a guy then we don’t deserve to be in the race. Playoffs are all about depth
