Senators' Lars Eller: Won't play versus Ducks

Eller (undisclosed) will be sidelined for Thursday's matchup with Anaheim, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Eller appears to be dealing with an injury, which prompted the recall of Stephen Halliday from AHL Belleville on Tuesday. Ottawa hasn't released a clear timeline for Eller's return. The veteran center hasn't earned a point in his last seven outings, during which he's managed a paltry four shots. With Eller on the shelf, Halliday looks poised to make his NHL debut against the Ducks.
