Carter motivated, energized entering last year of contract

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Jeff Carter doesn't want to dwell too much on last season.

Heck, he doesn't even want to talk about it.

"We're past last season, aren't we?" he quipped with a smile when I asked him about last season following Day 1 of the Penguins' training camp at the Lemieux Complex on Thursday.

Both Carter and the team are coming off of quite the down year. Carter's 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) in 79 games was the lowest total in his career among years in which he's had a full season.
