Protas produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
After getting set up for a goal by Pierre-Luc Dubois late in the second period, Protas returned the favor early in the third for what proved to be the game-winning tally. Protas is beginning to find a groove -- after managing zero goals and two assists over the season's first 10 games, the 25-year-old forward has delivered two goals and five points over the last five contests.
