Eller was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Eller finally broke his 12-game goal drought in Friday's matchup with Vancouver but now will have to wait before getting back on the ice. Assuming a five-day quarantine period given the most recent NHL protocols, Eller will likely miss the team's next three games unless he is able to test out. Connor McMichael should get a shot at stepping into Eller's third-line center role.

Eller scored the game-winning goal, logged two hits and added two PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Eller capitalized on a 2-on-1 rush, finishing a pass from John Carlson 42 seconds into overtime. It was a much-needed goal for Eller, who has gone cold since the All-Star break -- he has just one goal and one assist in his last 13 games, and he entered Friday on a 10-game point drought. The Dane's been held without a shot six times in that span. The 32-year-old center has 23 points, 78 shots, 60 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 53 outings overall, matching his point total from only 44 contests last season.

Eller logged an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-0 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Eller set up Connor McMichael's second-period tally, which extended the Capitals' lead to 4-0. The 32-year-old Eller has produced a goal and four helpers through 12 games in January, providing depth offense from a middle-six role. The Dane is up to 20 points, 59 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating through 38 outings overall. He'd need to pick up the pace slightly if he's going to push for his first 40-point campaign.

Eller distributes six hits in a 1-0 loss to the Knights on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Eller went scoreless in this one, along with the rest of the Capitals offense. The 32-year-old has just four points over his previous 10 games, with a goal and three assists. The center has 19 points in 36 games this season.

Eller logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Eller set up Conor Sheary for the game-tying goal at 16:13 of the third period. The 32-year-old Eller played 14:31 of ice time after missing Friday's game versus Red Wings with an illness. The center is up to six tallies, 10 assists, 44 shots on net, 26 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 27 contests this season. He'll likely revert to a third-line role when Nicklas Backstrom (illness) returns.

Eller (illness) is in the lineup Sunday against New Jersey, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eller missed Friday's game with a non-COVID illness but returns to the ice Sunday. The 32-year-old, centering Washington's fourth line, has recorded six goals and nine assists this season.

Eller (illness) will not play Friday against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Eller is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he could be back in action Sunday against New Jersey. The 32-year-old is averaging 17:57 of ice time with 15 points through 26 games this season. Brett Leason will likely enter the lineup in his absence.

Eller scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, went plus-3 and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Eller set up Daniel Sprong in the second period and then scored a goal of his own in the third to erase a two-goal deficit. The two-point effort was Eller's second such game this season. The Dane is up to five tallies, nine assists, 37 shots on net and a plus-10 rating in 23 contests overall.

Eller scored his fourth goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center lit the lamp less than four minutes into the first period, staking the Caps to an early lead. Eller has 12 points through 22 games this season, but he's benefitting from some excellent puck luck lately -- three of his goals have come in the last six contests despite taking only eight shots over that stretch.

Eller will be in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Hurricanes, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The forward is back after missing six games due to COVID-19. Eller has managed a goal and seven assists while averaging 17:18 TOI/G through 15 contests this season.
