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

Expected to play Wednesday

April 30, 2025
Protas (foot) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Canadiens in Wednesday's Game 5, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Protas warmed up on the fourth line, which suggests he'll be eased back in after a 10-game absence. The 24-year-old Protas was superb at even strength in the regular season, earning 30 goals and 36 assists over 76 games. He had just six special-teams points -- five shorthanded and one on the power play.

Set to be scratched Friday
CWashington Capitals

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.
