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.
