Eller has been playing left wing at camp on a line with Alex Galchenyuk at centre and Alexander Semin on the right.

“I’m excited to play with two very, very skilled players,” Eller told reporters on Friday. “I think we can form a really dangerous line. I think we’re going to have a lot of fun playing together.”

After scoring twice on Saturday, Eller was asked by reporters in Brossard about Semin’s skill level.

“I’ve seen him do it before in games, but still every time you see it you’re wowed a little bit,” Eller said. “But we all know he has those abilities and hopefully we’re going to see a lot of that this year.”
