Vrana injured his shoulder in practice Saturday, Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana's having a rough first training camp with Detroit. He finally hit the ice for the first time Saturday after sorting out his visa issues, only to get injured within the first 10 minutes of practice. The team should have an update on the severity of the injury in the coming days after reevaluating Vrana.

Vrana will miss the start of training camp due to a visa issue, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Steve Yzerman didn't seem too concerned that Vrana's visa issue would linger into the start of the season, especially considering the team's first preseason game isn't until Sept. 29 against Chicago. Vrana racked up 11 points in 11 games for the Wings last season and figures to continue filling a top-six role with Detroit, including logging time with the No. 1 power-play unit. As such, the 25-year-old Czech could provide top-half fantasy value and push for the 40-50 point mark.

Vrana agreed to terms on a three-year, $15.75 million contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana spent most of the 2020-21 campaign with the Capitals, racking up 11 goals and 25 points through 39 games before being traded to Detroit at the deadline, where he finished strong with eight goals and 11 points through the last 11 contests of the season. It wouldn't be wise for fantasy managers to expect Vrana to maintain a point-per-game pace with the Red Wings in 2021-22, but the 25-year-old winger is certainly capable of putting up 30-plus goals and 60-plus points over the course of a full campaign, making him an attractive fantasy option.

Vrana had a goal and an assist with a game-high seven shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana opened the scoring 6:40 into the first period, deflecting a point shot for his 19th goal of the season. He also picked up the primary assist on Valtteri Filppula's game-tying goal late in the final frame. Vrana has been terrific for the Red Wings ever since he was acquired from Washington at the trade deadline, producing eight goals and three assists in 11 games with Detroit.

Vrana scored the game-winning goal at even strength and added a power-play assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

With the Red Wings down 2-0 midway through the second period, Vrana helped spark a rally that kicked off with Joe Veleno's first NHL goal. Vrana has thrived since the trade from Washington, and in 10 games with Detroit he has seven goals -- including three game-winners -- and nine points.

Vrana scored a goal on three shots and had two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana got the Red Wings on the board with a beauty late in the second period with Carolina leading 2-0. The 25-year-old stole the puck at Hurricanes' blueline, powered through the zone and lifted a backhander over netminder James Reimer for his 17th goal of year. Vrana has scored six times and added an assist in his seven games since being acquired from Washington at the trade deadline.

Vrana scored four goals on six shots and went plus-4 in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana outscored the Stars by himself, and he did so in a variety of ways. His second goal came on a tip of a Danny DeKeyser shot, and Vrana's third was on a breakaway. The Czech winger has five goals and an assist in four games since he joined the Wings, and he's at 31 points through 43 appearances overall. He's taken on a top-line role in Detroit, so he could be a solid addition to fantasy rosters down the stretch.

Vrana notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana was back in the lineup after missing Monday's game due to an illness. The 25-year-old winger set up Valtteri Filppula's second-period tally. Vrana has two points in three games as a Red Wing, and he's up to 27 points through 42 contests overall when factoring in his time with the Capitals before the trade deadline.

Vrana (illness) will play in Tuesday's game versus the Stars, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana will return to the lineup after missing Monday's game against the Stars due to an illness. The 25-year-old has played two games since arriving in Detroit, recording a goal while averaging 16:53 of ice time.

Vrana (illness) will not be available for Monday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately, Vrana's illness is not COVID-19 related, so he could be back as soon as Tuesday against the Stars. The 25-year-old has one goal while averaging 16:53 of ice time in his two games since joining the Red Wings.
