OFFENSIVE-ZONE
Eller has improved his play in the offensive-zone substantially. He is engaging in more offensive-zone events per-minute played, and has produced better success-rates across-the-board.
He has nearly doubled the amount of successful offensive-zone puck-possession plays he produces per-minute played, and has increased his offensive-zone puck-battle winning-percentage by 24 percentage-points.
His offensive-zone puck-possession success-rate has improved from 56.6% to 62.2%. This is due to improved offensive-zone passing, and deking success-rates. Eller has also improved his success-rate when attempting to get shots through to the net; from 49.1% last season to 56.2% this year.
His true shooting percentage, which represents the percentage of attempted shots that result in goals has improved from 3.7% to 4.1%.

DEFENSIVE-ZONE
Last season Eller had the best defensive-zone risk/reward rating and ratio among Canadiens forwards; and he's improved on those numbers this season. (Tomas Plekenec's d-zone numbers have improved to the point where his 2013 d-zone numbers are actually tops among forwards)
Eller has engaged in fewer defensive-zone events per-minute played, likely thanks to a substantial increase in defensive success-rates. He's recovering more loose-pucks, and winning a higher-percentage of defensive-zone puck-battles.
His defensive-zone puck-possession success-rates are lower this season. This is the product of lower dump-out and deking success-rates, as his defensive-zone passing-percentage has actually improved 2.1 percentage-points.
