Protas scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Devils.
Protas put the Capitals ahead 2-1 in the second period. He's earned a goal and three assists over his last four contests. The 20-year-old's ice time remains fairly limited overall due to the depth of the Capitals' offense. He has five points, eight shots on net and an even plus-minus rating across eight appearances this season.
