  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Ten points in last six games

    Protas put up two assists in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Tuesday.

    Protas has been a revelation this season. He has three points, including two assists, in his last two games and 10 points (six goals, four helpers) across his past six appearances. Protas has 61 points (29 goals, 32 assists) and 128 shots in 68 contests this season. While only one assist has come with the man advantage, Protas has demonstrated tremendous growth in his defensive game. He leads the NHL with a plus-42 rating, and he has put up four shorthanded points. He's on the ice when it really matters, and he's always on the right side of the puck. It's only a matter of time before Protas starts getting time on the power play, especially at his size (6-foot-6, 247 lbs).

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Scores again in win

    Protas scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Protas has six goals and two assists over his last five contests, a span in which he's added 10 shots on net and a plus-11 rating. That level of offense is unsustainable for every player, but it's a good burst of production from one of the league's top even-strength performers this season. Through Saturday's action, Protas is tied for seventh in the NHL with 54 even-strength points. He's at 29 goals, 59 points, 126 shots on net and a league-best plus-41 rating through 67 appearances. While shooting 23.0 percent is a red flag for future regression, Protas has been too good to ignore in 2024-25.

    Protas scored three goals on six shots and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.

For the season, Protas is at 28 goals, 58 points, 125 shots on net and a league-leading plus-39 rating. All but five of his points have come at even strength -- he's earned four shorthanded points and one power-play point this season.

    Protas registered an empty-net goal, a shorthanded assist and a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Adds insurance tally

    Protas scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

The 24-year-old is up to 21 goals, 42 points, 87 shots and a plus-29 rating through 50 appearances in a breakout campaign. He should continue to see steady top-six minutes.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Opens scoring Thursday

    Protas scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

    Protas reached the 20-goal and 40-point marks for the first time in his career when he opened the scoring at 4:36 of the second period. That tally was also his fifth game-winner of the season. The 24-year-old continues to see top-six minutes at even strength and has racked up 83 shots on net and a plus-27 rating over 48 appearances. Even with a near-complete lack of power-play time, Protas is generating enough offense to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Garners helper

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Earns two points in win

    Protas scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

    Protas was involved in the Capitals' first two goals, setting up Jakob Chychrun on the opening tally in the first period before netting the game-winner himself in the second. This outing ended a four-game slump for Protas, who had earned 10 points over 10 contests prior to his dry spell. 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.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Two-point effort Monday

    Protas scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Protas has five multi-point performances across his last 14 games, collecting nine goals and 13 points over that stretch along with 31 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-12 rating. He came into the season with 13 career goals in the NHL, but Protas has already found the back of the net 18 times in 2024-25 in just 40 contests.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Nets insurance marker

    Protas scored a goal in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

    Protas stretched the Capitals' lead to 6-4, ending a see-saw battle between the offenses in the matinee contest. The 23-year-old forward has six goals and an assist over his last eight outings while routinely seeing top-six minutes in that span. Overall, Protas is enjoying a breakout campaign with 17 goals, 16 assists, 70 shots on net and a plus-21 rating through 39 appearances.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Pots two goals

    Protas tallied two goals and added five shots during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

    Protas continues to build on a breakout season in which he has deposited 16 goals and 32 points in 37 games. The 23-year-old may struggle to maintain his 23.2 percent shooting rate over the course of an entire season, but Protas' growing skillset and hulking frame should continue to pay dividends for fantasy managers as the calendar moves into 2025.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Scores twice Sunday

    Protas scored two goals on four shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Protas has matched his career high with 29 points, doing so in just 33 games this year compared to 78 appearances in 2023-24. He's added 63 shots on net and a plus-18 rating.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: 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.

    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.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Three-game, five-point streak

    Protas scored twice in a 2-1 win over Columbus on Thursday.

    Protas has five points (three goals, two assists) during a three-game point streak. He also has a remarkable 26 points, including 11 goals, over 28 games this season. Those 26 points tie him with Connor McMichael for second on the team in scoring. Protas has been a revelation on the Capitals' top line this season, and he's continued to score without Alex Ovechkin (leg) driving the play. Protas is a worthy fantasy acquisition.

  • Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Two helpers Saturday

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

    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. With 24 points (nine goals and 15 assists) in only 27 contests, Protas is just five points from matching the career high he set in 78 appearances last season. His role as a top-six forward suggests he should continue to find ample opportunities to produce, and it wouldn't be surprising if Protas establishes a new career high in points before the end of the calendar year.
