We are back with another one for the fellow Washington Capitals fantasy hockey players or for those who play fantasy hockey in general. Once again we are going with Pierre-Luc Dubois and Aliaksei Protas to add to your lineup tonight.
Don't just take our words for it either. Here's what Jan Levine of The Hockey News said abou the play of Protas:
"Protas, having a breakout campaign, has shown no signs of slowing. After a mild cold spell, he has heated up again with four goals and nine points over his last eight games. Protas is up to 22 markers and 23 apples in 53 games with his point almost exceeding what he posted in parts of three seasons in the Nation's Capital. If you have Protas in your league, enjoy the production, but be aware his 23.4 percent shooting percentage may regress slightly. "Jan Levine/The Hockey News
Victoria Matiash of ESPN.com Fantasy Hockey added this about PLD on Monday (ahead of Tuesday's win over the Florida Panthers):
"Don't look now, but the Capitals' second-line center has five goals and three assists in seven contests, a span over which he's averaged 2.6 fantasy points per game.... Tuck Dubois in your lineup for some extra scoring pop before the break. "Victoria Matiash/ESPN.com
Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his 12th goal of the season on Feb. 1 against the Winnipeg Jets and has scored five goals in his last eight games. Over his last 30 games Dubois has recorded 28 points with 10 goals and 18 assists. Dubois leads the Capitals in scoring since Nov. 3 with 11 goals and 25 assists for 36 points in 43 games played.
Dubois recorded his 30th assist of the season on Jan. 30 at the Ottawa Senators and reached the 30 assist mark for the fifth time in his career. He's on pace for 46 assists and 64 points this season, both of which would mark career highs. He ranks first on the Caps in primary assists with 21, second in assists and even strength points with 11 goals and 25 assists for 36 points while ranked third in points.
As for Protas he has 22 goals and 23 assists for 45 points and he always seems to heat up every game. Tonight should be no different for the young buck as his physicality against the Flyers. Puck drop is tonight at 7 p.m on Monumental Sports Network as well as 106.7 The Fan and Caps Radio 24/7.
