Eller will miss Saturday's contest with the Wild due to illness, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

Eller becomes the latest Canadien to suffer illness or injury. The winger has been extremely durable this season, as he's missed just one prior outing on the year. In his last five games, the 26-year-old has tallied a pair of points while putting 10 shots on goal. While unlikely to start recording huge numbers on a nightly basis, Eller has played with consistency, which makes him worth a look for daily lineups when he returns to action.
