Capitals' Lars Eller: Won't play Wednesday
Lars Eller won't be an option against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.Eller is likely still finalizing things after being traded from Pittsburgh to Washington on Tuesday, so it shouldn't come as a surprise he won't be immediately pressed into service. Considering the 35-year-old center spent seven years with the Caps, Eller should be fairly comfortable readjusting to his surroundings. He figures to move into a third-line center role and should be a heavy factor on the penalty kill.

Capitals' Lars Eller: Dealt to Washington
Lars Eller was traded from the Penguins to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday in exchange for 2027 third-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.This deal makes more sense for the Capitals than it does for the Penguins, as Eller will end the revolving the door of Michael Sgarbossa and Hendrix Lapierre at third-line center in Washington. The 35-year-old Eller had seven points, 27 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances this season, and while the scoring pace is unlikely to change, his non-scoring production could improve in a better team situation. This will be Eller's second stint with the Capitals after spending parts of seven seasons with the team from 2016-2023. Per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com, Eller is likely to miss Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs but should be available once the Capitals begin a road trip Friday in Colorado.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Shines in win over Columbus
Lars Eller recorded two goals on three shots and added two assists in Friday's 7-3 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.Preseason stats shouldn't count too much toward the regular season, but Eller was a one-man wrecking crew in this one after getting directly involved in four of the team's seven goals. Eller appeared in every regular-season game for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2023-24 as the third-line center and figures to hold that role this season. As a result, fantasy managers shouldn't expect these four-point games to continue for the 35-year-old veteran.
