The Belarusian forward recorded two assists.

This could have been a game featuring three Belarusians in the NHL at once. But in the end, Vitaly Pinchuk was left off the roster, while the Protas brothers continue to rack up points, according to Onlíner.

The “Capitals” proved stronger than the “Predators”—4–3. Belarusian Alexei Protas recorded two assists in a row—on the second and third goals. Here’s the first assist: the Belarusian player wearing number 21 found himself in front of the net and could have scored himself, but he didn’t put the puck in the net. Instead, he set up a teammate.

Next up—Protas spots his teammate gaining momentum and passes him the puck.

Ilya Protas also played actively, spending 11 and a half minutes on the ice, but did not register any points. Vitaly Pinchuk was once again left off the “Nashville” roster.

In a parallel game, another Belarusian, Artem Levshunov, took the ice. He spent nearly 25 minutes on the ice, but his Chicago team lost to Detroit 1–4.
