Protas Lights the Lamp First

Protas wastes no time getting the puck past the goalie, setting the tone in a game where every shift counts this late in the season. You know the kid's got that quiet confidence from his Caps days, but tonight he reminds everyone why GMs still whisper his name in trade talks. With playoff spots hanging by a thread, his early snipe shifts the momentum and puts the pressure right back on the opponent.
