In a crucial Game 5, the Washington Capitals are expected to make lineup changes, with Lars Eller likely being a healthy scratch for the first time since joining the team. Head coach Spencer Carbery hinted at adjustments during practice, emphasizing the challenge of such decisions. Eller has seen his ice time decline in the series against the Carolina Hurricanes, where his line has struggled significantly. Carbery stated that decisions on player lineup are complex but are ultimately aimed at strengthening the teamâs performance.
"The choice to sit Lars Eller wasn't a simple one, but it's a decision we feel is best for the team," said Coach Spencer Carbery.
"Ellerâs line has struggled against Carolina, being out-attempted 46-19 and having an 8-4 disadvantage in high-danger chances," noted analysis of his performance.
