57.4 – CF% at five on five for Lars Eller when playing alongside Andre Burakovsky, with an equally robust 76.9 GF% in the 356 minutes the two have spent on the same line.
Without Burakovsky that CF number for Eller drops down to 52.4% (414 minutes total)… but the dip has been particularly pronounced during Burakovsky’s recent stint on the IR, with Eller’s CF% bottoming out at 45.9% in 156 minutes of even-strength time.
Some of that is team-driven, of course, as the Caps haven’t exactly played their best hockey of late. Still, it’s probably pretty fair to say that no one is looking forward to the return of #65 more than Eller – and thankfully that return appears to be right around the corner.
