Extends point streak Protas recorded a shorthanded goal and took two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Protas found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 24, but the 25-year-old playmaker has routinely found ways to remain productive for the Caps. Aside from extending his current point streak to three games with this goal, this was also Protas' fourth goal and eighth points across 15 games since the beginning of January.

Plucks two apples in comeback win Protas distributed two assists and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Carolina.

Impact Protas slid a pair of primary helpers Saturday, with the latter of the two coming on Jakob Chychryun's game-tying goal late in the third period. Overall, Protas now has 18 assists, 36 points, 118 shots on net and 31 blocked shots through 53 games this season. Saturday's contest ended his six-game streak with an assist and helped him end January on a high note after struggling through the month, posting just six points. While he likely won't replicate the 66-point campaign he posted across 76 regular-season games a year ago, he should remain heavily involved at even strength, making him a viable fantasy option for the foreseeable future.

Goals in consecutive games Protas scored a goal on four shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact Protas looks to be getting his game back after a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury early in January. He's scored in back-to-back games and has three points over his last five outings. The 25-year-old forward is up to 18 goals, 34 points, 112 shots on net and a plus-15 rating through 50 contests this season. While well off the pace of his 30-goal, 66-point campaign from 76 regular-season games last year, Protas is still a key forward for the Capitals.

Scores first goal since injury Protas scored a goal, took three shots on goal, recorded a hit and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Protas came through when the Capitals needed him the most, as he scored the eventual game-winning goal with a wrister at the 7:35 mark of the third period. This was Protas' 17th goal of the season, but it was a noteworthy one since it was the first time he found the back of the net since returning from injury. He hadn't scored since a defeat to the Senators on Jan. 1.
