"Aliaksei Protas will miss out for personal reasons. In 59 games this season, the 25-year-old forward has recorded 42 points (20g, 22a). Protas has been one of the team's top contributors since returning to action after the Olympic break."
"With Protas out of the lineup, Hendrix Lapierre will come back in and center the fourth line. Connor McMichael and Nic Dowd have also moved up a line, and Justin Sourdif will play on the wing of Dowd's trio."
The Washington Capitals will play without top-six winger Aliaksei Protas against the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday due to personal reasons. The 25-year-old has recorded 42 points in 59 games this season and contributed four points in three games following the Olympic break. This marks his fourth missed game of the season. Hendrix Lapierre will center the fourth line in his absence, while Connor McMichael and Nic Dowd move up a line with Justin Sourdif joining their trio. Defenseman John Carlson also remains sidelined for a fourth consecutive game with a lower-body injury.
