Vrana was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana played for the Red Wings on Tuesday, but many thought he was just in the lineup to see how many scouts from other teams would show up to watch him play. Vrana has a goal and an assist in three games this season -- he played in the first two games of the campaign and then missed extended time before appearing in Tuesday's tilt against Washington.
