Picks up pair of points Protas scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Protas opened the scoring at 1:39 of the second period and also assisted on a Tom Wilson goal later in that frame. The 25-year-old forward has racked up five points and nine shots on net over his last four games since he returned from an upper-body injury. Protas is up to 25 goals, 52 points, 156 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 32 hits and a plus-20 rating over 74 appearances. While he hasn't matched last year's 66-point breakout regular season, he's still been a quality fantasy option in a middle-six role.

Adds two points in return Protas scored a goal, supplied an assist and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Protas made an immediate impact upon his return to the lineup following his two-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old forward picked up the primary helper on Dylan Strome's goal before later scoring an unassisted tally himself in the second period. Overall, Protas is up to 24 goals, 25 assists, 151 shots on net, 32 hits and 39 blocked shots across 71 games this season. He is in a great spot to continue producing on Washington's top line, giving him a strong chance to secure 50 or more points for the second straight year.

Playing Saturday Protas (upper body) will return to action versus Buffalo on Saturday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Protas missed the last two games with the injury. He has 23 goals, 24 assists and 147 shots on goal over 70 games this season. He should return to the top line, alongside Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin.

Set to be game-time call Protas (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against Buffalo, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Impact Protas participated in Saturday's morning skate and didn't stay on the ice for extra work, which is a good sign that he could return from a two-game absence. He has contributed 23 goals, 47 points and 147 shots on net across 70 outings this campaign.

Won't play Thursday Protas (upper body) won't travel with the Capitals to New Jersey for Thursday's game, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact The Capitals will be back at home for Saturday's game against Buffalo, so Protas might still be an option for that match. However, the 25-year-old also missed Wednesday's optional skate, so it's possible that he's not especially close to returning. Protas has 23 goals and 47 points in 70 outings this campaign. Thursday's tilt will be his second straight game on the shelf.

Won't play Tuesday Protas (upper body) won't be in the lineup against Philadelphia on Tuesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Protas will "miss a little bit of time," according to head coach Spencer Carbery on Monday. However, it's unclear when Protas will be ready to return to the lineup. He sustained the injury in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over Vegas. Protas has produced 23 goals, 47 points and 147 shots on net in 70 appearances this season.

The 25-year-old Protas has an empty-net goal in each of the last two games. He's now at 23 tallies, 47 points, 141 shots on net and a plus-18 rating across 66 appearances in a top-six role.
