"Aliaksei Protas and Ilya Protas scored again on the same night - a feat we've nicknamed a Dueling Goaltas. The Pro Bros both lit the lamp on Friday, January 23, in their respective games for the Washington Capitals and Hershey Bears. The January 23 event marked the second time this season they've scored on the same day. It came eight days after Ilya, 19, was named an AHL All-Star and learned of the nod from his older brother, Aliaksei, six years his senior."
"Aliaksei's tally on Friday came 7:35 into the third period at the Calgary Flames' Scotiabank Saddledome. After Justin Sourdif forced a turnover along the boards, the centerman sent a pass to Tom Wilson near the crease. Wilson jammed the puck to the opposite side of the net, giving Big Pro a layup. The goal, Washington's second of the night, would stand as the Capitals' game-winning goal in their 3-1 victory over Calgary."
Aliaksei Protas and younger brother Ilya Protas each scored goals on January 23, with Aliaksei scoring for the Washington Capitals and Ilya for the Hershey Bears. Aliaksei's goal came 7:35 into the third period in Calgary after a scramble, providing Washington's second and eventual game-winner in a 3-1 victory. Ilya opened Hershey's scoring 43 seconds into their game on a rebound and now has 16 goals, leading the Bears and ranking second among AHL rookies. The pair recorded their second same-day goals this season, and both teams have upcoming games on January 31 where they could repeat the feat.
