Capitals' Lars Eller: Set to miss time with illness
Eller was placed on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Dec. 17, due to an illness, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Head coach Spencer Carbery said that Eller saw a doctor Thursday who revealed that the 35-year-old is dealing with an illness that will force him to miss some time. Eller will be sidelined for the Capitals' final three games before the league's Christmas break, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return before the end of the calendar year. Over 33 appearances between Pittsburgh and Washington this year, Eller has totaled six goals, seven assists, 27 hits and 20 PIM while averaging 14:56 of ice time.

Capitals' Lars Eller: Supplies helper in loss
Eller notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Eller ended a six-game point drought with the helper. While he hasn't been big on offense since returning to the Capitals, he remains a steady third-line center for the team. His scoring rate is virtually identical to how he started the year with the Penguins. Eller has a total of 13 points through 33 contests, and he's added 47 shots on net, 27 hits, 14 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating. The big difference has been in ice time -- Eller's at 13:21 per game with the Capitals compared to 16:25 per outing with the Penguins, but he's been able to sustain his offense thanks to a stronger supporting cast.

Capitals' Lars Eller: Pots two goals
Eller tallied two goals, two shots and a plus-2 rating during Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
Eller netted the tying goal late in the first period and salted the game with an empty-netter as the Capitals took down the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers. The 35-year-old is up to three points in six games since returning the Capitals, but he may not have much to offer from a fantasy perspective as long as he's outside of precious top-six minutes.

Capitals' Lars Eller: First point since trade
Eller logged an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.
The helper on a Brandon Duhaime tally in the third period was Eller's first point in three games since the Capitals reacquired him in a trade with the Penguins. Eller is at eight points, 31 shots on net, 19 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 20 appearances this season. The 35-year-old should be a fixture on the Capitals' third line, though he's yet to see any power-play time since the trade, which could limit his offense.

Capitals' Lars Eller: Expected to play Friday
Eller is practicing with the Capitals on Thursday and is expected to play Friday in Colorado, as reports.
Eller was dealt to the Capitals on Tuesday and sat out Wednesday's tilt against Toronto. Eller is practicing on the third line alongside Andrew Mangiapane and Jakub Vrana. Eller had four goals and seven points over 17 games before the trade.

Capitals' Lars Eller: Won't play Wednesday
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
Eller was traded from the Penguins to the 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: Snaps point drought
Eller contributed an assist, one shot, one block and three hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over Montreal.
Eller won a puck battle against two Canadiens along the boards and threw the puck into the neutral zone to Blake Lizotte, who scored into an empty net to seal Pittsburgh's second straight win.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Garners helper in win
Eller logged an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens.
Eller snapped a five-game point drought when he set up Blake Lizotte's empty-net tally. The 35-year-old Eller had a four-game point streak before his slump, so his offense could be a bit streaky. Since Evgeni Malkin moved to Sidney Crosby's line, Eller has received a boost in ice time as the second-line center. Eller has seven points, 26 shots on net, 16 hits, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating over 13 appearances this season.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Two markers in loss
Eller scored two goals on six shots in Sunday's 6-3 defeat against Winnipeg.
Eller buried a rebound in the second period before scoring a beauty in the third -- he won a puck battle along the boards and popped out to snipe one over Eric Comrie's shoulder. After being blanked in his first three outings, Eller is riding a four-game point streak, consisting of four goals and two assists. The left-shot center will look to keep rolling in a road matchup against Calgary on Tuesday.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Adds assist Friday
Eller notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Eller has found a groove, earning all four of his points this season over the last three games. The 35-year-old continues to fill his familiar third-line center spot, and he's played well lately on a line with Drew O'Connor and Jesse Puljujarvi. Over six appearances, Eller has 12 shots on net, eight hits, four PIM and a plus-1 rating while also seeing time on the second power-play unit.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Paces Pittsburgh in win
Eller scored two goals on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over Montreal.
Eller put Pittsburgh on the board first with a laser that beat Sam Montembeault glove side. The former Canadien then tallied the game-tying goal, going end-to-end and again beating the goalie to the glove side late in the second period. These were the first two goals of the season for Eller, who has been in his familiar third-line role to begin 2024-25.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Shines in win over Columbus
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 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.

Eller logged a shorthanded assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Eller set up a Drew O'Connor goal in the third period. The 34-year-old Eller hasn't shown a lot of consistency on offense, rarely getting on the scoresheet multiple games in a row. He's still managed 30 points (five on the power play, two shorthanded) with 151 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-2 rating through 80 contests in a third-line role.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Available versus Wings
Eller (illness) will be an option to face Detroit on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Eller has scored just one goal in his last 11 outings while adding two helpers and 15 shots. Despite the lack of goals, the veteran center figures to be a lock for the lineup when healthy, especially given his defensive abilities and penalty-killing. In 78 games this season, Eller has picked up 15 goals and 14 assists while averaging 15:57 of ice time.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Questionable for Thursday
Eller missed Wednesday's morning skate due to an illness and is consequently questionable for Thursday's contest versus Detroit, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Eller has 15 goals and 29 points in 78 contests this season. If he can't play Thursday, then Radim Zohorna, who was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, will likely draw into the lineup versus the Red Wings.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Scores goal, adds assist in win
Eller scored a goal on three shots and earned an assist versus the Capitals on Thursday.
Eller made his former club pay with a two-point effort that will boost the Penguins' long-shot chances of making the postseason. With his empty-net tally, the 34-year-old center was also able to bring his eight-game goal drought to a close. If he can secure just one more point, Eller will get back over the 30-point threshold after missing that mark last year.

Penguins' Lars Eller: Two points against Rangers
Eller scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.
The 34-year-old center's tally almost exactly midway through the second period tied the game at 3-3, but New York dominated the second half of the contest. Eller was on the Penguins' top power-play unit Saturday and led the team with six shots on net, but his offensive contributions remain inconsistent. He's been held off the scoresheet in six of nine March games, producing just two goals and four points on the month so far.
