Canadiens' Eller to return Saturday vs. Senators after missing 5 games

Jean-Yves Ahern / USA TODAY Sports

The Montreal Canadiens will welcome Lars Eller back to their lineup Saturday against the Ottawa Senators after he missed five games with an upper-body injury.

Eller is struggling to build off a strong playoff performance with 11 points in 28 games, but his tallies have been timely: four of his seven goals have been game-winners. He averages over a minute of short-handed time on ice and is 58 percent on faceoffs.
