Line Change
Eller (personal) left the bubble on Wednesday and will not play on Thursday.
Eller went back to Washington on Wednesday to be with his wife for the birth of their second child. As a result, Eller won't be able to play on Thursday and will need to quarantine upon his return to the bubble, making him questionable for Sunday's game as well. Travis Boyd will replace him in the lineup.
Eller (upper-body) is expected to play in Game 1 on Thursday.
Eller left Tuesday’s practice early but is expected to play in Game 1 vs. the Hurricanes. The 29-year-old had seven goals and 11 assists (18 points) in 24 games during the Capitals Stanley Cup run last year.
Eller (lower-body) will not play Sunday vs. the Bruins.
Eller (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Sunday.
Eller was forced to leave Friday’s game with lower-body injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bruins. Eller missed Saturday’s practice but skated on his own beforehand and could be an option on Sunday. Alex Ovechkin will replace Eller if he’s unavailable.
The Capitals have signed Lars Eller to a five-year extension worth $17.5M ($3.5M AAV).
Eller was set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason but signs a five-year extension for the exact same cap-hit he already had ($3.5M). Eller has enjoyed the best offensive season of his career to-date, as he’s on-pace for a career-high in goals (17), assists (26) and points (43) after picking up 11 goals and 17 assists (28 points) in his first 53 games of 2017-18.

Eller (illness) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Eller missed practice on Monday, but was back on the ice for the Capitals morning skate and is now listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game vs. the Maple Leafs. If Eller is unable to go, Tyler Graovac will draw into the lineup. Eller has two assists in six games this season.
Eller missed Monday's practice because of an illness.
Eller’s status for Tuesday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs is in question after missing Monday’s practice session with an illness. With Eller not on the ice, Tyler Graovac centred the Capitals’ third line. Eller has just assists in six games this season and doesn’t carry much fantasy value as a bottom-6 option in Washington.
Eller (upper-body) will return to the lineup on Wednesday.
Eller missed Sunday’s game with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Friday, but will be back on the Capitals’ third line vs. St. Louis. Eller had two goals in 17 games this season.

Eller (illness) will return to the Canadiens lineup on Wednesday.
Eller has missed the last two games with an illness, but will draw back into the lineup tonight in Buffalo. The two-way centre has 11 goals, 11 assists (22 points) and a minus-14 rating in 67 games this season. Stefan Matteau will be a healthy scratch with Eller back in.
Eller (illness) will not play on Saturday.
Eller (lower-body) will not be in the lineup on Thursday.
