EDGE Analysis

After a slow start and no points 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 it rolling in a road matchup against Calgary on Tuesday.

Eller notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Eller recorded two goals on three shots and added two assists in Friday's 7-3 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

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 was one of six Penguins to play in all 82 games this season, registering 15 goals and 16 helpers.

EDGE Analysis

Eller was a solid addition to the Penguins roster, slotting into a third-line center role while also seeing time with the No. 2 power-play unit. Looking ahead to next year, the veteran center's ceiling figures to be in the 30-40 point range, making him a decent mid-range fantasy target.

EDGE Analysis

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 skills.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.
