Capitals send picks to Penguins for center Lars Eller, who won a Stanley Cup with Washington in 2018

The Washington Capitals have reunited with veteran center Lars Eller

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • Associated Press

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.

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.

He's up to seven points, 26 shots on net, 16 hits, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating over 13 appearances this season.

Impact 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 their third-line center and figures to hold that same role this season, meaning these four-point games aren't expected to be a common thing for the 35-year-old veteran.
