Aliaksei Protas scores in OT to lift Capitals over Blue Jackets 2-1

Aliaksei Protas scored his second goal of the night 2:23 into overtime to lift the Washington Capitals to a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • Associated Press

Two helpers Saturday Protas notched two assists and recorded three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Protas has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last six appearances, notching two multi-point games in that span, and the 23-year-old is well on his way to posting a career-best season. His best year came in 2023-24 when he had 29 points across 78 games, but he's up to 24 points (nine goals and 15 assists) in only 27 contests in the current campaign. His role as a top-six forward suggests he should continue to find ample opportunities to produce, and it wouldn't be surprising if he establishes a new career-high mark in points before the end of the calendar year.

Seals win in Toronto Protas scored an empty-net goal on three shots in 15:21 of ice time Friday in a 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Protas provided the Caps with an insurance marker at 19:03 of the final frame, his ninth goal of the campaign. The Belarusian winger is eight points shy of setting a new career high, and his 15:10 of average ice time in 2024-25 is his highest mark in four years as a professional. Protas is fourth on Washington in scoring -- the 23-year-old has provided nine goals, 13 assists and a plus-11 rating through 26 games.

Pots first career shortie Protas scored a shorthanded goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.

Impact The 2019 third-round pick got back on track after being held off the scoresheet for three straight games. The shortie was the first of Protas' career, while the multi-point effort was his sixth in the last 15 contests -- a stretch in which he's racked up an impressive seven goals and 16 points.

Stays warm with goal Protas scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.

Impact Protas tallied midway through the third period for the final goal of the game. The 23-year-old has two goals and four assists over his last five contests, going plus-6 in that span. His lack of a power-play role and a 24.1 shooting percentage are concerning for sustainability, but Protas is at seven goals, 11 helpers, 29 shots on net and a plus-12 rating while seeing top-line usage at even strength. This looks to be his breakout campaign, so he should be rostered in most fantasy formats, at least until his scoring rate drops.

Supplies two assists in win Protas registered two assists and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Protas had helpers on Jakub Vrana's goal in the second period, which was the game-winner, and Alex Ovechkin's empty-netter in the third. This was Protas' fifth multi-point effort, all of which have come since Oct. 29. The 23-year-old forward is up to six goals, 11 assists, 27 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 17 outings this season. He's looking steady in a top-line role at even strength and should have no problem earning a career year.

Two-point effort in OT loss Protas scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact His tally late in the second period gave Washington a 3-1 lead, but the game was all Toronto down the stretch. Protas is capitalizing (cough) on his spot at even strength alongside Alex Ovechkin, and the 23-year-old has four multi-point performances in the last eight games, piling up five goals and 11 points during that time. However, that production has come without the benefit of consistent power-play shifts, and Protas' 23.1 percent shooting is unsustainable.

Tallies in Wednesday's win Protas scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Protas bounced back from a scoreless outing Sunday versus the Hurricanes, tallying his fourth goal and eighth point in the last five games Wednesday. The 23-year-old is up to five tallies, seven helpers, 20 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 12 contests. He saw just 11:40 of ice time Wednesday but remains on the top line at even strength.

Notches two points Protas tallied a goal and an assist while logging 15:19 of ice time during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Protas has his third consecutive multi-point outing and has managed 11 points in 10 games to start the season. The 6-foot-6, 225 pound winger has flourished since being promoted to the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome and could break out in a big way if he can maintain a top-six role on the scorching Capitals.

Logs two-pointer in win Protas scored a goal on his only shot and logged an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over Montreal.

Impact Protas attempted a pass to Dylan Strome in the slot, but the puck deflected off Jayden Struble's stick and into the net for Washington's fifth goal. He later assisted on an Alex Ovechkin marker, giving Protas two consecutive multi-point nights. Protas has nine points (three goals, six assists) through his first nine outings.

Racks up three points in win Protas scored a goal on three shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Protas helped out on both of Alex Ovechkin's first-period tallies, then added a goal of his own in the second that stood as the game-winner. This was Protas' first multi-point effort of the campaign. The 23-year-old is seeing top-line usage at even strength, though he's not yet routinely in the power-play mix. He has two goals, five assists, 16 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over eight contests. Protas doesn't play with an edge, but he's got potential as a scoring-only option for fantasy managers.

Pockets helper Protas notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Protas helped out on a Nic Dowd tally in the second period. Through six contests this season, Protas has a goal, three assists, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating. The 23-year-old has played on the top line at even strength, but his scoring upside is likely to remain somewhat capped since he isn't receiving regular power-play usage.

Finds twine in win Protas scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Protas was bumped up to the top line at even strength, logging 15:12 of ice time Tuesday compared to 10:28 in Saturday's season opener. The 23-year-old forward cashed in with the game-winning goal at 5:16 of the second period, set up by linemate Alex Ovechkin. It's likely the Capitals' lines aren't yet settled, but it's a good sign Protas is in the mix for top-six minutes, though he would likely benefit further from a power-play role. The forward broke out with 29 points in 78 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Shortie stands as winner Protas scored a shorthanded goal Saturday in a 2-0 win over the Bruins.

Impact It stood as the winner. Protas won a face-off in the left circle, and the puck ricocheted off the linesman's skate into the low slot, where he jumped on the puck and lifted a shot over Brandon Bussi's glove. Protas projects as a third-line winger in Washington, which limits his fantasy upside.
