Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Back on scoresheet in victory
Alexei 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 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
Alexei 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 Washington 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
Alexei 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.

Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Stays warm with goal
Alexei Protas scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.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.

Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Supplies two assists in win

The 23-year-old forward is up to six goals, 11 assists, 27 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 17 outings this season. He's looking steady in a top-line role at even strength and should have no problem earning a career year.

Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Two-point effort in OT loss
Alexei Protas scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.His tally late in the second period gave Washington a 3-1 lead, but the game was all Toronto down the stretch. Protas is capitalizing on his spot at even strength alongside Alex Ovechkin, and the 23-year-old has four multi-point performances in the last eight games, piling up five goals and 11 points during that time. However, that production has come without the benefit of consistent power-play shifts, and Protas' 23.1 percent shooting is unsustainable.
