Aliaksei Protas Scores First Career Hat Trick
Washington Capitals right wing Aliaksei Protas earned his first career hat trick on Tuesday evening during their 7-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Protas tallied his first goal in the opening frame and found the back of the net the other two times in the final period. All of his goals came during even strength play. In this contest, Protas logged six shots on goal and held a +4 rating with one hit. This outing also extended his current point streak to three games. Over his last five games, Protas has tallied eight points (five goals) with a stellar +9 rating. Through 65 total games, the 24-year-old has enjoyed a career-season as he has tallied 58 points (28 goals) with 125 shots on goal (1.9 per game) and a +39 rating. He remains a must-start player in all standard formats and will look to stay hot on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings.
