3 years agoWashington Capitals forward Aliaksei Protas will have a special night on Wednesday against Montreal, joining Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov on the first line. This is a major opportunity for the young Belarusian, who's been sparingly used so far this season. The 20-year-old has picked up one assist in his first eight career appearances. Tom Wilson is joining Connor McMichael and Daniel Sprong on the second line. T.J. Oshie (lower body) returned to the lineup last week but got injured again and Conor Sheary (upper body) is unavailable, so head coach Peter Laviolette been has forced into some line shuffling again.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
