"Aliaksei Protas, one of the NHL's breakout players, has garnered attention with 58 points this season, surpassing his previous three seasons combined, yet struggles with power-play opportunities."
""Pro has earned the opportunity to play... We've held off 50 games of him being as productive, and so he's going to get a look to play power play.""
"Despite limited power-play time, Protas remains highly impactful as one of the league's best even-strength players and is backed by skilled linemates."
Aliaksei Protas has emerged as one of the NHL's most productive breakout players for the 2024-25 season, accumulating 58 points, which exceeds his last three seasons total of 53. Despite his notable performance, Protas receives limited power-play time, a situation that has frustrated both him and management. Coach Spencer Carbery recognizes Protas' effectiveness at even strength and has indicated plans to increase his power-play opportunities, provided it does not affect his five-on-five performance. Protas is also significantly supported by linemate Pierre-Luc Dubois, contributing to his success this season.
