Need to Know:
Big, strong and fearless, Jeff Carter is on his way to becoming one of the NHL's top finishers. The 22-year-old London, Ontario native made his debut with the Flyers in 2005-06, two years removed from the talent-soaked first round of the 2003 Entry Draft. He and fellow first-rounders Mike Richards and R.J. Umberger looked like seasoned vets when they stepped into the team's lineup last October. Jeff and Mike had won the World Junior Championship and the American League's Calder Cup in the span of only a few months earlier that year. Jeff finished with 23 goals (T-7th among rookies) and 42 points to push the Flyers into the playoffs in 2006. Seven of his goals were game-winners, which tied for second among league rookies. It's been a rough sophomore season, however, for Jeff and the Flyers. His offensive output has dipped, and it wasn't helped by leg fracture that cost him most of November and December. But there is little quit in these young legs, and his recent play has shown he's getting back to full-strength; Good news for Jeff, and good news for fans in Philly.
Did You Know:
Jeff represented Canada at the 2006 World Championship in Riga, Latvia, and scored two shorthanded goals in a game versus Finland and teammate Antero Niittymaki.
