Alex Ovechkin on the Capitals' 700-pound line of Aliaksei Protas, Ilya Protas, and Tom Wilson: 'I think it's going to be the heaviest line in the league. Good luck.'

""I think it's going to be the heaviest line in the league," Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin said pregame. "I think so, right? Yeah, so good luck.""

""In my opinion, Willy is the most soft one on that line, right?" goaltender Logan Thompson joked. "It's exciting. I'm really happy for Little Pro; he's earned it. He's going to show Tom up, I think, today, on that line.""

""That's like 15 of myself," defenseman Rasmus Sandin added to Sportsnet's Luke Fox. For math's sake, it's actually only 3.7 Sandins."

""Well, I said I'm going to have to suit up tonight to match the size," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said. "And I'm going to be a little smaller than those three boys. That's a heavy line. That's a big line, so it'll be interesting to see.""

Ilya Protas is set to make his NHL debut with the Washington Capitals against the Toronto Maple Leafs, joining his brother Aliaksei and Tom Wilson on a line that weighs a combined 700 pounds. Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin believes this line will be the heaviest in the league. Other players, including goaltender Logan Thompson and defenseman Rasmus Sandin, expressed excitement about the trio's size. Head coach Spencer Carbery noted that their physical attributes should help them hold onto pucks effectively during the game.
