Flyers forward and goal-scoring machine Jeff Carter earned a spot on the Eastern Conference All-Star squad, when the conference's reserves were named on Thursday.
Carter is tied for the league-lead in goals with Alex Ovechkin, both with 27 tallies on the year.
The selection is the end of a long and somewhat pointless campaign to get Carter's name written on the ballots. As per the rules, at least one representative of each team in each conference has to be named. As there were no Flyers starters anywhere near the top vote-getters, it was pretty much a lock that Carter would be the Flyers' pick.
In other team news, defenseman Lasse Kukkonen was again placed on waivers...this time it was earlier today. The move is rumored to be a set-up so that either Danny Briere or Simon Gagne can return to the lineup.
