Jeff Carter played most of the final four games of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals with a separated right shoulder, a Flyers spokesman said last night.

Carter scored just one goal in the series, won by the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games.

Because of the injury, which will not require surgery, Carter will not play in the world championship in Switzerland. He would have competed for Team Canada.
