Lars Eller has returned to the Capitals after leaving Philadelphia for DC and missing Thursday’s game due to a “family matter.”

Eller, who did not participate in the team’s morning skate on Saturday, returned in time for warmups, and according to the Capitals’ Mike Vogel, will play in the team’s rematch.

The Capitals previously went with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen last game in the Danish center’s absence. Jonas Siegenthaler, who got the extra jersey, played only one shift.

During the Capitals’ morning skate, Brian Pinho took rushes in Eller’s place.
