Protas scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 6-2 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Protas' seventh straight game with at least one goal. He's potted eight goals and six assists during the remarkable streak, which got him out of a four-game slump. Protas is up to 10 goals, nine helpers, 36 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 18 appearances. He looks like the real deal, and he could get a look in the NHL as soon as this year if the Capitals suffer a rough stretch of injuries.

EDGE Analysis

Protas seems to be finding his way in the AHL now, as he has four goals and three assists during a four-game point streak. For the season, he's up to six tallies and 12 points over 15 outings, including five multi-point efforts. The 19-year-old winger will likely get at least all of 2025-26 to adjust to the professional ranks, but he could be a challenger for an NHL job in a year or two.

Protas scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 5-1 win over Springfield on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

These were Protas' first two points in three games at the AHL level. He's underaged for the level as a 19-year-old Belarus native, so some growing pains should be expected. Protas was a third-round pick of the Capitals in 2024, and he's looking to follow in the footsteps of his brother Aliaksei, who has established himself as a reliable two-way forward at the NHL level.
