Vrana notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana was scratched for 10 games between Nov. 23 and Dec. 14, but he's now played in consecutive contests. Vrana and Hendrix Lapierre are essentially in competition for the last spot in the lineup, which is the third-line left wing slot. For the season, Vrana has eight points, 20 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 18 appearances, so he shouldn't be expected to be a major fantasy contributor.

Vrana scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana's tally was the game-winner, his first such goal this season. It came at 2:49 of the second period, and it was his second goal in as many games. The 28-year-old winger is up to four tallies, three assists, 18 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 14 contests. He may not be in the lineup every game and is often limited to bottom-six minutes when he plays, so he doesn't have much fantasy value. He did surpass his point total from 2023-24 (six in 21 games) with Sunday's goal.

Vrana found the back of the net with a power-play marker in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana tied the game at 1-1 in the opening frame after receiving a pass from Pierre-Luc Dubois. Vrana added two shots and one hit in 11:49 of ice time. It was only the second occasion this season that the left-shot forward received more than 10:57 of ice time, so his role and opportunities are limited. Vrana has produced three goals, three assists and a plus-4 rating through 13 appearances.

Vrana notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch. He had been replaced in the lineup by Michael Sgarbossa, who was sent to AHL Hershey on Thursday. Vrana now has five points and 14 shots on net over 10 appearances this season, but it appears he'll never be fully secure in the lineup. He's one point shy of his output from 21 games with the Blues last season, but the uncertainty in his playing time makes the 28-year-old winger a non-factor in many fantasy formats.

Vrana scored an unassisted goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

If they were giving out assists to opponents, Montreal's Christian Dvorak would get one. He slid a backhanded pass from behind his own net right to Vrana, who beat Cayden Primeau on low shot to his far side. It was Vrana's second goal of the season and first in six appearances.

Vrana posted an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana has two points through four contests to begin 2024-25, which has been enough to keep him in the lineup as a bottom-six forward. The winger has added four shots on net and a plus-2 rating. Vrana's ice time is too limited to make him a reliable source of offense in fantasy, and it's unclear if he'll be able to play his way into a more prominent role.

Vrana scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana tallied in the first game of his second stint with the Capitals. The winger was a healthy scratch for the season opener, and he saw just 8:46 of ice time Tuesday, so he's not guaranteed to play every game. The 28-year-old struggled to six points in 21 appearances with the Blues last year, and at this stage of his career, he has a lot to prove on offense before he could be trusted again as a depth forward in fantasy.

Vrana signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Washington on Monday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana attended training camp with the Capitals on a professional tryout agreement before landing a one-way deal with the team. The 28-year-old forward notched two goals and four assists in 21 regular-season contests with St. Louis in 2023-24. Vrana will compete for a bottom-six role with Washington during his second tour with the organization.

Vrana agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with Washington on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana saw action in 21 games for the Blues last year in which he notched two goals on 42 shots, four assists and nine hits while averaging 12:08 of ice time. The 28-year-old winger spent parts of five seasons with the Capitals, including the club's Stanley Cup-winning 2017-18 campaign. Heading into the upcoming season, Vrana will likely need to edge out the likes of Michael Sgarbossa or Sonny Milano to secure a permanent NHL deal -- though a two-way contract could also be an option for the Caps if Vrana is willing to go that route.

Vrana was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana's demotion comes as Justin Faulk (lower body) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. In four games since being brought back up from the minors, the 27-year-old Vrana has served as a healthy scratch twice, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him dropped from the 23-man roster.
