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
$Signed a five-year, $16.88 million contract extension with the Capitals in January of 2024.
First goal of postseason
CWashington Capitals
May 6, 2025
Protas scored a goal in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1 on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Protas opened the scoring early in the second period. He poked the puck to himself out of a battle at the blue line, skated down the right side and wired a wrist shot inside the far post from the right circle. It was Protas' first goal of the 2025 playoffs (two games). The big winger is coming off a 30-goal, 66-point regular-season campaign, and the Caps need his scoring touch against the dominating two-way presence of the Canes.
