Vrana scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Not only did Vrana score in his Red Wings debut, but it was the game-winner. The 25-year-old is up to 26 points, 71 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 40 contests this year. He spent five years with the Capitals, but Vrana should be able to enjoy a solid top-six role with more power-play responsibility in Detroit.

Vrana (not injury related) will make his Detroit debut Thursday against Chicago, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana is expected to skate on the Red Wings' second line and second power-play unit versus the Blackhawks. The 25-year-old winger picked up 11 goals and 25 points in 39 games with the Capitals before being traded to Detroit on Monday.

Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman hopes that Vrana (not injury-related) will assume a bigger role than he had with the Capitals, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana was involved in one of the more notable trades Monday, which included power forward Anthony Mantha moving from the Wings to the Capitals. While Detroit runs a far inferior offense and power play compared to what Vrana's been accustomed to in D.C., it's easy to envision a top-six role with a healthy amount of man-advantage rink run for the Czech winger. Vrana -- who is cashing out the balance of a two-year, $6.7 million contract -- will be a restricted free agent in the summer.

The Red Wings acquired Vrana, Richard Panik, a 2021 first-round pick and a 2022 second-round pick via trade from the Capitals for Anthony Mantha on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After scoring 25 goals last season, Vrana endured some struggles this year, and he was a healthy scratch twice in April. The 25-year-old has accrued 11 goals and 25 points through 39 games this season. He'll be a restricted free agent this summer. Vrana will be a key piece of the Red Wings' ongoing rebuild, and he projects as a top-six right wing for the rest of the season. He likely won't play in Monday's road game versus the Hurricanes, but he could make his Red Wings debut Thursday against the Blackhawks.

Vrana will draw into the lineup Tuesday against the Islanders, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana will skate on the third line alongside Lars Eller and Daniel Sprong after being a healthy scratch for the last two games. The 25-year-old has gone quiet on the goal-scoring front, tallying just five helpers and a minus-4 rating in his previous 11 games prior to being dispatched to the pressbox, so fantasy managers can only hope will cure the speedy winger's offensive woes.

Vrana will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game versus the Devils, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana will sit as a healthy scratch for a second straight game. The 25-year-old posted 25 goals and 27 assists last season, but he was on an 11-game goalless streak before getting taken out of the lineup.

Vrana will be a healthy scratch for Friday's game versus the Devils, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana has struggled a bit recently, having picked up just two helpers in his last seven games, so he'll get the night off against New Jersey. The 25-year-old forward will almost certainly return to the lineup for Sunday's rematch with the Devils.

Vrana tallied an assist and two PIM during Tuesday's 3-1 victory over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

The helper gives Vrana five goals and 10 points over his last 10 games. The 25-year-old winger is producing at a rate that would see him eclipse the 60-point mark in a normal 82-game season -- quite convenient for the pending restricted free agent as he heads toward a contract extension.

Vrana scored two goals, including the overtime winner, in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old remains hot, finding the scoresheet in five of the last six games and amassing five goals and seven points over that stretch. On the season, Vrana has 10 goals and 18 points through 24 contests as he builds on last year's breakout performance.

Vrana scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in a 3-2 win over the Devils on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana got the Capitals on the board with 4:21 left in the opening period, following his own rebound to tie the game at 1-1. He later assisted on Nicklas Backstrom's second-period tally for his first multi-point performance since Feb. 1. Vrana has scored in back-to-back games after a bit of a quiet stretch in his previous five outings. The 24-year-old now has seven goals and seven assists in 20 games this season.
