Impact Eller earned an assist in his debut in the Black & Gold and seemed to have the team rolling in the right direction before a third-period collapse. Last season, the veteran center was limited to just 23 points despite playing in 84 games for the Capitals and Avalanche. Eller probably shouldn't be expected to see much in the way of power-play ice time this season, which figures to limit his overall offensive upside.

Goals stands upon review Eller scored a goal on one shot over 13:33 of ice time in Thursday's 5-4 win over Ottawa.

Impact Eller scored his first since being acquired by the Avalanche, but the tally had to withstand added scrutiny. The Senators first thought it was icing, but that was not called. Then goalie Mads Sogaard appeared to have covered the puck, but only for a brief moment, giving Eller, who did not hear a whistle, the chance to bang it into the net. The goal stood, and the Avs had a 5-2 lead. He's beginning to establish a comfort level with his new team, as head coach Jared Bednar noted to Evan Rawal of the Colorado Hockey Now following last week's win over Arizona, Eller's sixth game with Colorado.

In lineup after acquisition Eller had one shot on goal over 14:28 of ice time in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Devils.

Impact Eller, who was acquired by Colorado on Wednesday, made it to the arena in time to play in the evening's game.

The 33-year-old skated as the third-line center, which resulted in that position's previous occupant, Alex Newhook, moving to wing on the second line. Eller is expected to remain in a bottom-six role while being strong on faceoffs and having a role on the penalty-kill unit.
