Aliaksei Protas - Inks extensionProtas signed a five-year, $16.875 million contract extension on Friday.
ImpactProtas was a pending restricted free agent heading into the summer, but in the midst of a career-best 18 points in 42 games, the Capitals wasted no time in locking the hulking winger to a long-term deal. The 23-year-old will need to continue to improve his offensive production in order to live up to his $3.375 million annual salary, but Protas owns an intriguing blend of size and skill and will be a key member of Washington's offense for years to come.

Colton Parayko - Notches assist in lossParayko posted an assist, a shot on net and three blocked shots across 19:24 of ice time in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
ImpactParayko continues to log big minutes on the blue line despite being left out of the power-play rotation. His upside is certainly limited because of his lack of power-play minutes, and the 30-year-old has posted just 14 points through 43 games.

Torey Krug - Fires four shots on netKrug recorded four shots on net, a blocked shot and two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
ImpactKrug hasn't scored a goal in 30 straight games, but he was a solid contributor with 15 assists and 72 shots on net in that stretch. Considering he's skating on the second power-play unit, we should expect Krug to tally a few goals before the season's over, but it's worth noting that he hasn't hit double digits in the category since the 2017-18 campaign.
