Jeff Carter: Won't play Saturday

Carter (upper body) won't play Saturday against the Flyers, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

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.
