Ducks sign Carter to three-year deal
STORY TOOLS 
More from SportsCenter Ryan Carter, who appeared in 34 games for Anaheim as a rookie this past season, signed a three-year contract with the Ducks.
The 24-year-old Carter had four goals and four assists, with 36 penalty minutes. He scored his first NHL goals on Feb. 8 against New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur, with his goals less than eight minutes apart leading Anaheim to a 2-1 win.
The Ducks originally signed Carter as a free agent out of Minnesota State in the summer of 2006.
Terms of his new contract were not disclosed Tuesday.
Ott signs new deal with Stars: The Dallas Stars signed center Steve Ott to a two-year contract worth $2.85 million.
The 25-year-old Ott's contract was set to expire after the season. He is signed through the 2009-10 season.
Ott scored a career-high 11 goals this season and equaled a career-best with 22 points. Ott, who has 67 points in 273 career games, has two goals in Dallas' playoff run.
NHL, players union to look at goalie equipment: The NHL and its players union have formed a group to examine the size and configuration of goalie equipment. They will meet June 11 in Toronto.
The NHL representatives include Doug Risebrough of Minnesota, Garth Snow of the New York Islanders, Jim Rutherford of Carolina and Brett Hull of Dallas.
Three goalies and two skaters will represent the players — Mike Cammalleri of Los Angeles, Brodeur of New Jersey, Rick DiPietro of the New York Islanders, Ryan Miller of Buffalo and Dany Heatley of Ottawa.
There is a belief among some in the hockey world that reducing the size of goalie equipment would increase scoring.
