Carter departed Monday's practice after just 25 minutes, but his early exit was not injury related, LA Kings Insider Jon Rosen reports.

After a slow start to the season, Carter has put up seven goals and 13 points in his last nine games, bringing his season totals to seven goals and 15 points through 14 games. There is no word on Carter's status for Tuesday's game against Arizona, but it would be a huge loss for the Kings and Carter's fantasy owners if he is to miss out on the contest.
