EDGE Analysis

Vrana, who pushed himself hard during Tuesday's optional practice, may head to AHL Grand Rapids for a conditioning stint before he returns to action with the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

This is exciting news as Vrana played the first two games of the season, scoring once and adding an assist, and then went into the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program. Vrana will be a top-six forward upon his return to the lineup and that bodes well the Red Wings, who have had trouble finding the back of the net as they are the ninth-lowest scoring team in the NHL. He is in follow-up care and has been made eligible to return to action by the NHL and NHLPA.

Vrana (personal) isn't likely to play Friday night against host Chicago, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings are not putting a specific timeline on Vrana's absence, but the top-six winger is currently listed as a non-roster player and initial reports suggest that he will not be making a quick return. Dominik Kubalik ascended from the fourth line to the first line when Tyler Bertuzzi (upper body) sustained his injury, and a Vrana absence should afford additional opportunities for the likes of rookie Elmer Soderblom and Filip Zadina, with the latter having a lot to prove in his fifth year.

Vrana will be away from the Red Wings an indefinite period of time while receiving care from the player assistance program.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana was designated as a non-roster player Wednesday for this reason. He'll continue to be paid while undergoing treatment and will rejoin the Red Wings after he's cleared by the program administrators.
