Vrana tallied a goal and added six shots during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The six shots were a season high for Vrana, who has contributed three goals and five points in eight games thus far. The 23-year-old winger has been shuffled to the third line with Lars Eller and Garnet Hathaway, which is a less prominent assignment than his previous role in Washington's top six, but the Capitals will rely on the Czech winger for secondary scoring, so he should see his ice time pick up again before too long. On pace for his first 50-point season, the 13th overall pick from the 2014 NHL Entry Draft has enough upside to merit rostering in most formats.

Vrana registered a power-play assist and two shots during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana has posted two goals and four points in his first six games, which puts him on pace to eclipse the 50-point mark for the first time in his career. Of possible concern is a reduction in the 23-year-old's ice time over the last two contests (11:34 average), but that could be due to Washington's penalty troubles during the short road trip. Getting feeds from either Evgeny Kuznetsov and Nicklas Backstrom gives the 13th overall pick from the 2014 NHL Entry Draft a fairly stable floor and more than enough upside to merit rostering across the board.

Vrana scored his second goal of the season and added three shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana provided the opening tally 10:25 into the first period, converting a pass from Lars Eller behind Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov. Vrana's got the hottest stick on the Capitals right now, with a goal in each of their first two games of the year. It can be assumed that the Czech winger will get a boost when Evgeny Kuznetsov (suspension) replaces Eller at the pivot on the second line.

Vrana scored the game-winning goal and added five shots during Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana has a good chance to improve on last season's 24-goal, 47-point breakout campaign now that he's firmly entrenched in Washington's top six. The 23-year-old is worth rostering across the board entering his fourth NHL season.

Vrana earned a two-year, $6.7 million contract extension from the Capitals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana set career highs in goals (24), assists (23) and shots (161) last season. It's a solid bridge deal for the winger, who will get the opportunity to earn an even bigger payday if he continues to develop. The 22-year-old should be in line for a top-six role this season and figures to see minutes on the power play as well.

Vrana is expected to receive a qualifying offer ahead of Tuesday's deadline, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise that the Capitals are going to retain Vrana's RFA rights after the Czech winger posted career highs in goals (24), points (47), and games played (82) in his third pro season. The anemic bump in the salary cap ceiling could alter the contours of a contract extension for the 23-year-old winger, but given his development into a top-six forward, expect him to be an integral part of the Capitals offense once again in 2019-20.

Vrana played through an unspecified injury during the Capitals' postseason run, Brian McNally of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana didn't notch a point during the postseason, finishing the seven-game series with a minus-1 rating, eight shots on goal, eight hits and two blocked shots. Despite the silent conclusion to his campaign, the third-year winger collected a career-best 47 points -- 24 goals and 23 assists -- over 82 games during the regular season. The marked improvements should shoot him up draft boards heading into 2019-20.

Vrana managed just eight shots and a minus-1 rating in the 2018-19 playoffs

EDGE Analysis

Vrana's fade late in the season likely had something to do with Washington's first-round exit at the hands of the Hurricanes. Despite the disappointing finish, the 23-year-old winger still set a career-high 24 goals and 47 points in 82 games and figures to be a top-six winger moving forward, providing plenty of fantasy upside in standard formats.

Vrana tallied a goal and two shots during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana continues to chug along with four goals and six points in 12 games during the month of March. The 23-year-old winger is breaking out in 2018-19 with 22 goals and 45 points in 76 games and should be squarely on your radar when the time comes to draft your 2019-20 fantasy roster.

Vrana scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

His 20th and 21st tallies of the season staked the Caps to a 2-0 lead they'd quickly squander. Vrana is having a solid second NHL campaign, and the 23-year-old winger should continue to produce down the stretch on a dangerous No. 2 line alongside Nicklas Backstrom.
