"The Younger Pro notched his first AHL point in the first period and scored his first AHL goal in the third, completing the first multi-point game of his professional career in a 5-1 victory over the Springfield Thunderbirds. Protas's first AHL point came on a great individual play with 43 seconds remaining in the first period. Hustling on the forecheck, Protas forced Thunderbirds defenseman Theo Lindstein to turn the puck over, who sent an off-target pass off the side of the net."
"Protas scored his own milestone tally with 1:32 remaining in regulation, as he closed out the game with Bogdan Trineyev and Henrik Rybinski. After Trineyev missed on an empty-net chance, the Russian forward dug the puck out of the corner boards and found Rybinski, who immediately dished to Protas between the circles. Little Pro made no mistake and buried the puck into the yawning cage, giving Hershey a 4-1 lead."
Ilya Protas recorded his first AHL assist in the first period and scored his first AHL goal in the third, finishing with two points in Hershey’s 5-1 victory over Springfield. Protas forced a turnover with 43 seconds remaining in the first, picked up the loose puck and set up Patrick Thomas for his first AHL goal, which stood as the game-winner. Protas closed the scoring after Bogdan Trineyev recovered a loose puck and found Henrik Rybinski, who fed Protas between the circles. Ryan Chesley added a late empty-net goal, and Derek King earned his first victory as Bears head coach. The 19-year-old Belarusian finished plus-two with four shots on goal.
