There was no decades-long quest for Ryan Carter to win hockey's ultimate prize.
After Carter played 76 games for Portland of the AHL in his first professional season, the Anaheim Ducks called up the forward for their 2007 playoff run.
The White Bear Lake, Minn., native didn't have a point, penalty or shot in 13 minutes of ice time over four Stanley Cup Playoff games, but still had his name engraved on the Cup when Anaheim beat the Ottawa Senators in five games for the franchise's first title.
That's not to say Carter enjoyed an easy path to NHL success. A finalist for the 2002 Minnesota Mr. Hockey award, he spent two seasons each with the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League and Minnesota State University Mankato before signing with Anaheim as an undrafted free agent July 12, 2006.
It took until the 28th game of his rookie season for him to score his first goal, but he did it in style. On Feb. 8, 2008, Carter led the Ducks to a 2-1 win against the New Jersey Devils, putting two pucks past goaltender Martin Brodeur.
Carter played three seasons in Anaheim before being traded twice during the 2010-11 season, first to the Carolina Hurricanes and then to the Florida Panthers. When Florida put Carter on waivers early in the 2011-12 season, the Devils, with former Panthers coach Peter DeBoer behind their bench, quickly picked him up.
Not known for being a scorer, Carter still managed some big goals. None was bigger than his game-winner for the Devils in Game 5 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Final. After blowing a 3-0 lead in that game against the New York Rangers, New Jersey seemed destined to head home for Game 6 one loss from elimination at the hands of their rivals. But with less than five minutes left, Carter scored to give New Jersey a 4-3 lead en route to a 5-3 win.
Two days later, Carter opened the scoring in Game 6 to help the Devils win 3-2 and clinch the series. That put Carter into his second Stanley Cup Final, where the Devils lost in six games to the Los Angeles Kings.
After Carter was awarded New Jersey's Players' Player Award in 2014, the Devils released him during training camp prior to the 2014-15 season. Carter signed with the Minnesota Wild on Oct. 6, 2014, returning to his home state. In 2014-15, Carter's 10 assists gave him double-digits in a scoring category for the first time in his NHL career.
