  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Notches two points

    Protas registered two assists and two blocked shots during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Protas is enjoying his promotion to the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Hendrix Lapierre. The 6-foot-6 forward has nine points in his last 10 games, and Protas is tied for third on the team with 27 even-strength points. A lack of opportunity on the power play will make it tough for Protas to maintain the recent success.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Grabs three points in win

    Protas tallied a goal and added two assists in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Senators.

    Protas opened the scoring 6:30 into the first period, sliding a backhander by Anton Forsberg off a rush to give the Caps a 1-0 lead. The 23-year-old forward would add an assist on Beck Malenstyn's goal later in the frame before setting up Hendrix Lapierre in the second. Protas now has points in four of his last five contests, totaling two goals and five assists in that span. He's up to five goals and 26 points through 56 games in a middle-six role this season.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Goal, assist Saturday

    Protas tallied a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal.

    Protas picked up an assist on Anthony Mantha's opening goal in the first period before adding a tally in the third, pushing a rebound past Jake Allen for the eventual game-winner in a 4-3 victory.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Inks extension

    Protas signed a five-year, $16.875 million contract extension on Friday.

    Protas was a pending restricted free agent heading into the summer, but in the midst of a career-best 18 points in 42 games, the Capitals wasted no time in locking the hulking winger to a long-term deal. The 23-year-old will need to continue to improve his offensive production in order to live up to his $3.375 million annual salary, but Protas owns an intriguing blend of size and skill and will be a key member of Washington's offense for years to come.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Running cold

    Protas has no points and a minus-5 rating over his last seven games.

    Protas has been shuffled down to the third line alongside Connor McMichael and Tom Wilson in an attempt to rekindle his offensive game. The return of Max Pacioretty and Sonny Milano (upper body) could hamper the 23-year-old Protas' efforts to lock down a top-six role in the final half of the 2022-23 season despite establishing a career high of 18 points in the first 40 games. The hulking forward could become a solid fantasy asset in the future, but Protas will need to become a more consistent offensive producer before achieving that title.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Manages helper

    Protas recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

    Protas helped out on Alex Ovechkin's goal in the second period. This was Protas' fifth helper over the last six games, and he ends December with nine points across 14 outings. The 22-year-old has stepped up into a middle-six role in what's looking like a bit of a breakout season. He's at three goals, 15 assists, 42 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 33 contests overall while finding chemistry with Anthony Mantha and Connor McMichael on the second line.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Two-point night Thursday

    Protas tallied a goal, an assist and three shots during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.

    Protas opened the scoring with a shot from behind the goal line that banked off Stars netminder Scott Wedgewood and into the net. Protas has posted two goals and seven points in his last nine games and seems to be meshing well on the second line with Connor McMichael and Anthony Mantha, so those in deeper formats may want to give him a look.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Two points in shootout loss

    Protas tallied a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.

    Protas opened the scoring midway through the first period, taking advantage of a puck Scott Wedgewood mishandled behind the net, before adding an assist on Evgeny Kuznetsov's goal in the second. The 22-year-old Protas came into Thursday''s matchup with just two assists in his last seven games. He now has three goals and 11 points through 22 games this season. Protas should continue to skate in a top-six role while registering time on the second power-play unit.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Provides pair of helpers

    Protas notched two assists in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

The 22-year-old Protas has found offense in bursts lately with three multi-point efforts over his last nine games, racking up two goals and six assists in that span. He's up to nine points, 22 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 18 outings overall, though his limited role doesn't bode well for sustaining his recent level of production in the long run.

Protas has scored six points in his last five games as he seems to be picking up the pace offensively. He should continue to occupy a role on the third line.

This snapped a four-game point drought for Protas, who earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 31, 2022.

  • Capitals' Alexei Protas: Recalled Saturday

    Protas was called up from AHL Hershey on Saturday.

    Goaltender Clay Stevenson was sent down in a corresponding move, as Darcy Kuemper (personal) is ready to rejoin the Caps following the birth of his son. The 22-year-old Protas could compete for a bottom-six role after tallying four goals and 11 assists in 58 games last season.

  • Capitals' Alexei Protas: AHL bound

    Protas was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Friday.

    Protas was sent down to make room for goaltender Clay Stevenson on the roster. Protas had four goals and 15 points in 58 games with the Capitals last season. Don't be surprised to see a quick recall for Protas once Darcy Kuemper (personal) is ready to rock.

  • Capitals' Alexei Protas: Brought up from minors

    Protas was recalled from AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

    Protas was assigned to the minor-league ranks for cap compliance purposes Monday, but with Washington having placed Max Pacioretty (Achilles) and Joel Edmundson (hand) on the injured list, there's now sufficient cap space to add Protas to the big club's roster. Protas posted four goals and 15 points in 58 games with the Capitals during the 2022-23 campaign and appears poised to hold down a regular role in the big leagues during the upcoming season.
