Breaking news: Carter out, Laperriere in?

Judging from the line combinations at practice right now, Jeff Carter will sit out tomorrow night’s Game 4 and Ian Laperriere will play. As I type, Carter is centering a line with wingers Andreas Nodl and Riley Cote, while Laperriere is playing right wing on a line with Blair Betts and Darroll Powe. That means Carter, Nodl and Cote are likely to be scratches tomorrow night. I’m also told Carter brought just two sticks with him to Montreal and did not plan on playing in either Game 3 or 4. He is targeting his return on Monday night in Game 5 in Philadelphia. The Flyers line combos today look like this: GAGNE RICHARDS CARCILLO HARTNELL BRIERE LEINO VAN RIEMSDYK GIROUX ASHAM POWE BETTS LAPERRIERE Defense pairs remained the same with Pronger and Carle; Timonen and Coburn; and Parent and Krajicek
