The Washington Capitals have reunited with veteran center Lars Eller. Washington sent a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick to Pittsburgh on Tuesday for Eller, who spent seven seasons with the Capitals and helped the club win the franchise's first Stanley Cup in 2018.

Eller, a member of the Capitals’ Stanley Cup winners in 2018, returns after being traded to Colorado in March 2023.

Lars Eller was traded to the Washington Capitals by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday for a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
