Protas, Dubois and McMichael had multi-point outings and Thompson stood tall again to help the Capitals past Pittsburgh, 4-1.

The Pittsburgh Penguins probably don’t expect Joel Blomqvist to save their season. But just being reliable by saving a few shots is a fair hope for the rookie goaltender. That’s something would-be franchise netminder Tristan Jarry was not able to provide,

The Capitals will revert their top-6 back to what it was at the start of the season as coach Spencer Carbery continues to look for a spark at 5-on-5. Alex Ovechkin will reunite with Dylan Strome and Connor McMichael, while Pierre-Luc Dubois will go back to centering Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson.

Protas reached the 20-assist mark when he set up a Tom Wilson goal in the first period that tied the game at 1-1. The 24-year-old Protas has looked good in a top-six role this season even without seeing much power-play time. He's up to 39 points, 81 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating over 47 appearances.

Protas scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins. Protas was involved in the Capitals' first two goals, setting up Jakob Chychrun on the opening tally in the first period before netting the game-winner himself in the second.
