Nabs first helper since injury Protas logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Protas picked up his first point in five games since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him three contests. The 25-year-old has reclaimed a steady role in the top six, though he remains without much power-play time. The forward is up to 32 points, 99 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 46 appearances. If Protas can get his offense on track, he makes for a solid forward in most fantasy formats.

Placed on injured reserve Protas (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Capitals on Wednesday, retroactive to Jan. 1.

Impact Protas has already missed Washington's last two games due to his lower-body injury, so his placement on injured reserve shouldn't have a significant impact on his return timetable. However, he'll be unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas, and it's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again. Brett Leason was recalled from AHL Hershey in a corresponding move Wednesday to provide additional depth in Protas' absence.

Game-time call Protas (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with the Ducks, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Protas was absolutely lighting it up prior to getting hurt, racking up four goals and five helpers in his last five outings. With Tom Wilson (lower body) ruled out, the Caps could certainly benefit from getting the 24-year-old Protas back in the lineup. If he can't go, the Caps will need to either bring up a forward from the minors or roll with seven blueliners against Anaheim.
