AHL bound Protas was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Friday.

Impact Protas did not need waivers and with the Capitals calling up goaltender Clay Stevenson, with Darcy Kuemper unlikely to play due to his wife giving birth Thursday night, Protas became the choice to be sent down. 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.

Brought up from minors Protas was recalled from AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

Impact Protas had been assigned to the minor-league ranks for cap compliance purposes, but with Washington now having placed Max Pacioretty (Achilles) and Joel Edmundson (hand) on the injured list, there is sufficient cap space to add the burly forward to their roster. The 22-year-old 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.

Loaned to AHL Protas was assigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.

Impact Protas could be back with the Capitals soon, as the team had to make some transactions in order to be cap compliant prior to Monday's deadline. He supplied 15 points, 83 shots on goal and 39 hits in 58 games for Washington last season.

Back in Hershey Protas was returned to AHL Hershey on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Protas played in 58 games at the NHL level, scoring four times and adding 11 assists. The 22-year-old was a bottom-six forward this season, averaging 11:31 of ice time per contest. He will gain valuable experience in the AHL playoffs with the first-place Hershey Bears.

Dishes helper Thursday Protas tallied an assist and a plus-2 rating during Thursday's 6-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Protas has helpers in consecutive games working on the fourth line alongside Nic Dowd and Connor Sheary. The 22-year-old has been up and down with the Capitals throughout the 2022-23 campaign but could get more regular minutes in the final games should Washington's playoff aspirations fade and management decides to give younger players a longer look -- though Protas' fantasy value remains considerably low in the short-term even with more steady ice time.

Up with Capitals Protas was recalled from AHL Hershey on Sunday.

Impact Protas has generated three goals, seven assists, 55 shots on net and 32 hits in 43 games with the Capitals this season. He should be expected to accompany the team to Los Angeles ahead of Monday's contest versus the Kings.

Returned to minor-league affiliate Protas was assigned to AHL Hershey on Tuesday.

Impact Protas has been a healthy scratch for two straight contests since rejoining the Capitals following a brief personal absence, so he'll head to the minors for some much-needed playing time. The 22-year-old has, however, drawn into 43 games with the big club this campaign, picking up 10 points over that span, so he should be back with Washington sooner rather than later.

Rejoins Capitals Protas (personal) returned to practice Wednesday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Protas missed Tuesday's game against Carolina to be with his wife for the birth of his daughter. He's expected to be an option for Thursday's game versus Florida and might serve in a top-six role if Alex Ovechkin (personal) is unavailable. Protas has three goals and 10 points in 43 contests this season.

Summoned by Capitals Protas was called up by Washington on Friday.

Impact Protas has two goals and five points in eight games with AHL Hershey this season. With the Capitals, he's contributed three goals and 10 points in 42 contests while averaging 10:55 of ice time. If he plays Saturday against Boston, it will probably be in a fourth-line role.
