The Washington Capitals will be without forward Aliaksei Protas for an indefinite period due to a lower-body injury. Head coach Spencer Carbery confirmed before an upcoming match against the New York Islanders that Protas is categorized as "week-to-week" after suffering a skate cut to his foot during a recent game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Protas has had a strong season, tallying 66 points in 76 games, making him a key contributor for the team. Anthony Beauvillier will take his place in the lineup as they face the Islanders.
Head coach Spencer Carbery revealed ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Islanders that Protas is "week-to-week" with a lower-body injury.
The 24-year-old Belorussian appeared to get cut as he attempted a shot in front of the Blackhawks' net... and immediately reacted in pain.
Protas is in the midst of his breakout season in the NHL, recording 66 points (30g, 36a) in 76 games.
Carbery announced that he will be replaced in the lineup on Sunday afternoon by former Islander forward Anthony Beauvillier.
