Aliaksei Protas, a forward for the Washington Capitals, is set for potential return in Game 4 against the Montreal Canadiens after recovering from a skate-cut injury. He participated fully in practice, impressing head coach Spencer Carbery with his performance. Protas missed nine games, and his return could significantly bolster the Capitals, especially given his impressive regular-season stats with 66 points. His presence is vital to counter the Canadiens' top line, having contributed 4 points in three playoff games against Montreal this season.
"Yeah, he's full-go in practice, so we'll just see tomorrow. Everything is looking good, he's out there taking contact and that, so we'll just see tomorrow."
"With Protas on the ice this year, the Capitals saw 53.6 percent of shot attempts, 51.6 percent of expected goals, and 54.4 percent of high-danger chances."
