LOS ANGELES -- Jeff Carter wore a Kings uniform for 580 of the 1,123 games he has played in the NHL.
He won two Stanley Cups in this town, and forged countless friendships and memories along the way.
He also is 37 years old, and working on a contract that expires in a few months, so he understand that the Penguins' game at Crypto.com Arena Thursday night might be the final one he ever plays here.
But that doesn't mean he's resigned to it.
Fact is, Carter made it pretty clear Wednesday that he'd like to extend his career at least a bit.
