Anyone in particular get a boost while Carter is out?
Thinking about possible under the radar add for spot start duty in a one year daily starts multi-cat league.

The Los Angeles Kings will be without Jeff Carter for multiple weeks after the two-time All-Star sustained a lower-body injury in his team's 5-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.
Carter was injured late in the first period after being hit into the boards by defenceman Jeff Petry. He left the game and did not return.

I would guess that Shore will shift to C2, Kempe staying at C3, and Nic Dowd (scratched last night) will play C4.
So.. I'd guess Shore is the benefactor for even-strength time.
Cammy took Carter's place on PP1 last night, and that'll likely stay his spot.
LA Kings Insider will likely have the info available first (following next practice):

Good shouts from P7 - and after their performances last night they may not be under the radar adds anymore
Experience is the teacher of all things.

Not great news if this is legit.

21 is Nick Shore.
I'm trying to figure out who #25 is. [User Comment suggests it's... BROOKS LAICH!!!]
Well this sucks.
This has to hurt Toffoli's value too I assume. Have both in one league
Goalies: If I'm pickin em you best be sittin em!
Shore could be half-decent but Toffoli is really going to have to step up. If this turns out to be a multiple months thing I would expect Blake to start making calls. I literally laughed out loud when I saw that Brooks Laich was going to be called up. To do what? Serve as a pylon during practice drills?
Update: Carter has had surgery, out indefinitely

Uggggggggggggggggggggggggh. My first rounder in a keeper draft. That hurts.
Assuming his achilles got clipped like happened to Huberdeau last season? Or something similar...
Normally you wouldn't think a cut would require surgery. Unless they consider stitches to be surgery.
They said its a cut tendon, which heals a lot faster and a lot better if you insert a few stitches. Out 6-10 weeks unofficially.
