Carter, who skated in the Ice Haus before the team practice began, will need another day to determine if he’s ready to play against Chicago on Thursday. His fractured foot is still at issue, but signs are point toward the former All-Star soon returning to provide a much-needed boost to the foundering Jackets.

Carter has been out of the lineup for nine of the team's 14 games. He could return to the lineup on Thursday but stay tuned for a further update.

#CBJ C Jeff Carter has hairline fracture atop his right foot, suffered Saturday. Could keep him out Tuesday, but not long-term, #CBJ says.

Earlier in the preseason, we advised fantasy owners to be weary of Jeff Carter's achy foot.
