"Protas sustained an upper-body injury late in the first period of Saturday's game, slamming headfirst into former Capitals teammate Nic Dowd along the sideboards, leaving Dowd bleeding from above the eye and Protas struggling to get up."
""He's going to miss a little bit of time," Carbery said. "Won't play tomorrow, and then we'll reassess later in the week.""
""We expect him back," Carbery said, referring to Protas' potential return before the end of the regular season, which wraps up on April 14."
""I'm not going to commit to anything at this point for tomorrow, but good chance that he may get in there," Carbery said about David Kampf's potential debut."
