Lars Eller Fantasy Stats

Ottawa Senators center Lars Eller (undisclosed) is expected to play on Thursday night against the Anaheim Ducks. On Wednesday, Senators head coach Travis Green suggested that Eller will likely miss the meeting with the Ducks, but he has been listed on Ottawa's projected roster. Instead of Eller, Ridly Greig (undisclosed) will exit the lineup, with Stephen Halliday coming in for his NHL debut. Eller has posted six points (two goals, four assists) in 19 games this season. However, he has been on a dry spell since the calendar flipped to November, going scoreless in seven games.

Ottawa Senators center Lars Eller (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports. The Danish veteran is dealing with an undisclosed injury, prompting the team to recall Stephen Halliday from the minors. In 2025-26, Eller has won a career-high 56.4 percent of faceoffs and boasts six points (two goals, four assists) through 19 appearances. If he enters the lineup on Thursday, Halliday would make his NHL debut. The 23-year-old has been a prolific player in the AHL, posting 16 points (one goal, 15 assists) in 15 outings this season.

Ottawa Senators center Lars Eller (abdomen) could make his first appearance for the team this weekend. Senators head coach Travis Green told reporters on Thursday that he is "hoping" Eller will be available for Saturday's preseason finale against the Montreal Canadiens. Eller underwent an abdominal procedure during the offseason. Last week, the Danish veteran told reporters that he is pain-free and close to 100 percent. Eller looks to be a great veteran presence on this Senators team, but he should be a free agent in fantasy leagues.

Ottawa Senators center Lars Eller (abdomen) may have to sit out the start of training camp, general manager Steve Staios told reporters on Wednesday. The Danish veteran, who celebrated his 36th birthday in May, had a minor abdomen procedure in the summer. Eller is preparing to start his first season with the Senators after signing a one-year, $1.25 million contract as a free agent in July. He split last season between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals, registering 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) in 80 games. Eller lacks fantasy appeal but typically does a solid job for teams as a bottom-six center.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller turned 36 this month but has no plans to hang up his skates. "I'll definitely keep playing," Eller told Sammi Silber of the DC Backcheck. "My body feels good." Eller had a disappointing season and ended it as a healthy scratch for Washington during the playoffs. He posted 10 goals and 22 points in 80 games with the Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, a significant drop from the 31 points Eller had the year before. Considering how his return to Washington turned out, it appears unlikely that we will see Eller suit up for the Capitals in 2024-25. However, the Danish veteran seems highly motivated to continue playing, with the Olympics on the horizon.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's Game 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Danish veteran has failed to make a significant impact in these playoffs and will come out of the lineup after logging less than 10 minutes of ice time in two of four games versus Carolina. Eller has gone goalless with three shots on net in nine playoff games, registering only one assist. Washington plans to use Connor McMichael as the third-line center in Thursday's contest. He has previously featured as a winger on the second line. Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery will shuffle his lines as the team enters desperation mode, needing a victory on Thursday to remain alive in the series.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller (illness) has been placed on Injured Reserve. He was unavailable for Friday's matchup against Carolina due to an illness, and Eller will be forced to miss at least two more games. The Danish veteran has done a good job for Washington as the third-line center since arriving in a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins. He's notched six points (two goals, four assists) in 16 appearances while winning 53 percent of his faceoffs. Hendrix Lapierre took over his duties on Friday, while Washington has summoned Henrik Rybinski from the AHL to provide forward depth.

The Washington Capitals have reacquired center Lars Eller from the Pittsburgh Penguins, who received a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick in the transaction. Eller skated in nearly 500 games with the Capitals before moving on to Colorado in 2022. He signed a two-year, $4.9 million contract with the Penguins as a free agent in 2023. Eller has tallied four goals and seven points in 17 games in Pittsburgh this season, winning 56 percent of his faceoffs. He will assume the same position in Washington and be deployed as a penalty-killer. The 35-year-old likely won't be ready to join his new teammates for Wednesday's clash with Toronto but should make his second debut for the Capitals later in the week.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller has entered COVID-19 protocols, the team announced on Monday. The Danish veteran came up with a big overtime goal against Vancouver in the last game but will now have to patiently wait for his opportunity to rejoin the lineup. Eller has posted 23 points overall this season in 53 games. His spot as the third-line center went to Connor McMichael at Monday's practice and it appears that Daniel Sprong will get a chance to join the lineup on Tuesday against the Islanders. The line also currently includes Washington's third-best goal-scorer Tom Wilson, so there's some fantasy appeal.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller returns to the lineup on Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Eller missed a half-dozen games in all due to COVID. He also had to quarantine for ten days in an Anaheim hotel room. It seemed to affect his mental health and outlook more than anything. The good news is he will return to his middle-six role and seemed unencumbered in practice. He had eight points (seven assists) in 15 games. It may take a few games for Eller to get back some of his timing so be patient in fantasy leagues.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller (lower body) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers. The veteran forward, who hasn't played since Mar. 13, will replace Richard Panik on the third line. He has five goals and 12 points for the season in 22 games with 33 shots and a minus-two rating. The Dane is far from a consistent offensive contributor, but he was on a nice run last month with nine points in 10 games. He's joined on the third line by Jakub Vrana, who is the team's third-best goal-scorer, so Eller has some DFS appeal.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller recorded a game-high seven shots and produced the team's final tally in Tuesday's 3-1 win at Pittsburgh. Conor Sheary and Jakub Vrana also scored the Capitals, who ended a four-game skid. The team has struggled lately, but Eller has actually played his best hockey of the season, putting together a three-game point streak. He has two goals and five points for the season in 10 games with 20 shots. Skating on the third line limits Eller's fantasy value, but he's also on the second power-play unit and has picked up a couple of power-play helpers lately, so managers in deep leagues might find him useful.

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller (upper body) won't be in the lineup on Thursday against the Islanders. He was unable to finish Tuesday's battle with the Isles and is labeled as day-to-day for now. Nicklas Backstrom (undisclosed) was also injured on Tuesday, but he is expected to suit up. Tom Wilson (lower body), who has missed two games, is a game-time decision. Both Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov remain unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols, so head coach Peter Laviolette has to be creative with his lines, and it's reported that T.J. Oshie is set to take over for Eller as the second-line center. Vitek Vanecek is expected to stay between the pipes after delivering a five-game point streak to start off the season.
