For the season, the forward has 19 goals, 19 assists, 80 shots on net and a plus-26 rating while seeing next to nothing in the way of power-play time. He's emerged as a reliable top-six forward in 2024-25 and could push for a 30-goal, 60-point campaign, though there's a chance the bottom falls out since he's shooting 23.8 percent.

Back on scoresheet in victory Protas found the back of the net on three shots and went plus-2 in 18:00 of ice time in Friday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Protas opened the scoring late in the first period by deflecting an Andrew Mangiapane shot past Pyotr Kochetkov. The goal snapped a three-game point drought for Protas. The 23-year-old is just two points shy of matching his career high that he set last season. The left-shot winger ranks third on the Caps in points, and he's up to 12 goals, 27 points, six PIM, 59 shots on goal and a plus-16 rating through 32 appearances. Protas is shooting at a 20.3 percent clip, though, so he could see some regression in that area over the course of the campaign.

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

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.

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.
