Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Unavailable Wednesday

Protas (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs.

Protas battled a lower-body injury last week, but it's unclear if this is a related issue. T.J. Oshie (upper body) is also out Wednesday, allowing both Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Michael Sgarbossa to draw in. Protas has not recorded a point in his last four outings.
