Ahead of the matchup against the Buffalo Sabres, Carter participated in the morning skate, but was been absent ever since.
Carter missed the game and the following practice ahead of the Penguins departure for Columbus.
Following the practice, head coach Mike Sullivan stated that Carter has been dealing with an upper-body injury.

“Carts is dealing with an upper-body injury so we chose to hold him off of the ice today.”
No subsequent move or adjustment has been made regarding Carter’s spot on the roster.
Vinnie Hinostroza was recalled prior to the game against the Sabres, and he remained present during practice.
Defenseman John Ludvig also returned to skating with the team and Sullivan said they are encouraged by his progress.
