Lars Eller scores first goal with Colorado Avalanche on absolutely bizarre play

Longtime Washington Capitals center Lars Eller was traded to the Colorado Avalanche at this year’s deadline. The move put an end to a seven-year stint within the Caps organization where Eller scored 87 times.

Eller has since played in nine games for the Avs and found the back of the net for the first time in a Colorado sweater on Thursday night against the Ottawa Senators. The goal happened on an absolutely bizarre play featuring quite the non-call from the officiating staff.

Avs beat Caps 3-2 and Tom Wilson got hurt again

The Washington Capitals dropped a late-night roadie to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, and that’s not even the worst part.

Artturi Lehkonen scored first, a rush goal set up by Nate MacKinnon just before he got steamrolled by Dmitry Orlov. In the second, Andrew Cogliano deflected Kurtis MacDermid’s point shot, but the Caps responded with a tip of their own: Sheary off Fehervary. Restoring Colorado’s two-goal lead in the period was Alex Newhook with a blazing-fast breakaway.

Alex Ovechkin scored off a dazzling one-timer from the Ovi Spot halfway into the third, but they couldn’t close the gap.

Caps lose.
