UNDER THE WEATHER
Blue Jackets center Jeff Carter did not participate in this morning’s skate at Nationwide Arena. Arniel said Carter has suffered from the flu for the past couple of days and has not slept well as a result. It is still possible that Carter plays tonight against Colorado, Arniel said, but he will be evaluated when he returns to the arena this evening.
“(Carter) felt pretty crappy last night and didn't sleep very much,” Arniel said. “He came in this morning and we just sent him home."
