Washington Capitals center Lars Eller’s point and goal production took a bit of dip from last season, as he fell to 13 goals in 81 games played. He did, however, notch 23 assists, which was a step up from the 2017-18 season. He likely has Brett Connolly to thank for that.
Eller did, however, notch the most ice time of his career with an average of 16:32 per game. His career average is 14:50, and his average in Washington is now 15:15.
Paired with Brett Connolly on a potent offensive line for the Capitals, Eller was able to produce near what he was able to in the 2017-18 season, which was his best to date.
