Jeff Carter Set to Retire
Following the Penguins’ season finale loss to the New York Islanders on Wednesday night, Jeff Carter has said that he will be hanging up the skates for good, as the 39-year-old forward is retiring.
It was a fitting end to Carter’s career, scoring one of the Penguins’ four goals.
The Penguins acquired Carter from the Los Angeles Kings at the 2021 trade deadline.
In January of 2022, Pittsburgh signed Carter to a two-year extension.
Carter was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2023-24 season. In 72 games, he scored 11 goals.
During his 19-year NHL career, with the Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Los Angeles Kings, and Pittsburgh Penguins, Carter tallied 442 goals, while recording 409 assists.
While with Los Angeles, Carter captured a pair of Stanley Cup titles in 2012 and 2014. He was also a two-time All-Star, with the Flyers in 2009, and the Kings in 2017.
