Lars Eller, who has missed the last four games due to illness, was unable to play against the Toronto Maple Leafs despite participating in Friday's practice.
Head coach Spencer Carbery confirmed Eller will not be playing against Toronto, leaving Hendrix Lapierre likely to fill the center position on the third line.
Eller has recorded 13 points (6 goals, 7 assists) in 33 games this season, marking a notable contribution to the Capitals' offense.
The Capitals anticipate Alex Ovechkin's return after a significant injury absence, which could further impact the team's dynamic moving forward.
