Lars Eller's come a long way since being drafted 13th overall by the St. Louis Blues.
November 5, 2009
In his first NHL game, Lars Eller scored his first goal on the powerplay against future linemate Rene Bourque. His goal broke a Blues 171 minute scoreless drought at home, and also broke a run of 26 failed powerplay attempts. Even as a rookie, Eller had a penchant for scoring big goals. He also quickly established himself as a player who would go to the dirty areas and win along the boards.
