Washington Capitals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Protas had a modest breakout in 2023-24, earning 29 points and 113 shots on net over 78 regular-season contests. He's steadily gained more responsibility with the Capitals over the last three years, but Protas' ceiling remains limited by a lack of power-play time -- he averaged just 15 seconds per game with the man advantage last year. Protas is likely to remain in a middle-six role in 2024-25, so it's fair to question how much more growth he can show without a significantly larger role. Expect roughly 30 points without much additional production in the non-scoring categories, leaving his fantasy value to deep formats. Read Past Outlooks

Two-point effort Monday
CWashington Capitals
January 7, 2025
Protas scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old continues to put together a breakout campaign in a top-six role for the Capitals. 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to be scratched Friday
CWashington Capitals
January 6, 2023
Protas is expected to be a healthy scratch Friday against Nashville, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
ANALYSIS
Protas played in Washington's first 41 games. He has three goals and 10 points while averaging 10:52 of ice time this season. With Nicklas Backstrom, who has a hip injury, and Tom Wilson, who is dealing with a knee injury, close to returning to the Capitals' lineup, Protas might be reassigned to the minors in the not too distant future.
