Veteran wing Ryan Carter has plans to come in for a professional tryout with the Minnesota Wild, a source told the Pioneer Press.

Carter, 33, spent parts of the last two seasons with the Wild, playing 53 games in 2014-15 and 60 games and 2015-16. A former standout for Minnesota State Mankato, Carter has totaled 10 goals and 25 points over the last two seasons.

Carter provides some added forward depth to a team that will be without six key players — Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, Mikko Koivu, Mikael Granlund, Erik Haula, and Nino Niederreiter — for the first week of training camp. Those players will be at the World Cup of Hockey, which runs from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1.

Should Carter make the team, he figures to compete for a spot somewhere on the fourth line. The White Bear lake native is still eligible to sign any team, despite his PTO with the Wild.
