Vrana tallied a goal and three shots during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana has posted three goals and four points in his last eight games, giving him 12 points in 19 games on the season. The 25-year-old has been somewhat inconsistent in his production, leading to some shuffling in the lineup to the frustration of fantasy managers.

Vrana tallied a goal on three shots Tuesday in a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana picked the glove-side corner from the right faceoff circle to give the Capitals a 2-0 lead 11:31 into the second period. The goal, which proved to be the game-winner, was the second in as many games for Vrana. The 24-year-old has picked up four points in four contests since the calendar turned to February and now trails only Nicklas Backstrom for the team lead in goals with five.

Vrana collected a goal on three shots and added a pair of hits Sunday in a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana tied the game at 2-2 early in the second period when he located a loose puck in front and swept a backhander past Pittsburgh netminder Tristan Jarry. It snapped a six-game goal drought for Vrana, who missed Washington's previous game last Sunday due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. A 20-goal scorer each of the last two seasons, Vrana should receive a lift from the return of center Evgeny Kuznetsov (COVID-19 protocol), who was back in the lineup for the first time since Jan. 19.

Vrana has been removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana missed Sunday's loss to the Flyers after being added to the protocols list Saturday, but he'll be eligible to return for the Capitals' next contest, which is currently scheduled for Sunday versus Pittsburgh.

Vrana was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Saturday, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana joins teammates Evgeny Kuznetsov and Ilya Samsonov in virus protocol. He can be safely ruled out for Sunday's game against the Flyers, and there's no clear timeline for his return to action. The 24-year-old has impressed through the first 11 games, recording three goals and five assists.

Vrana was given a maintenance day and did not attend Saturday's practice, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana's absence from practice does not appear to threaten his availability for Sunday's matinee against the Flyers but check for further confirmation prior to puck drop. The Czech winger is running a little cold of late with just two helpers and eight shots in his last five games.

Vrana had two assists with three shots Monday in a 5-3 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Vrana set up goals by Daniel Sprong and John Carlson, the latter with the man advantage, to stake the Capitals to a 3-0 lead. It was the second multi-point showing of the season for the 24-year-old, who has three goals and five assists with a plus-6 rating after 10 games. Vrana produced 49 goals over his previous two seasons and is worth a spot on fantasy rosters, especially once the Capitals are back to full strength.

Vrana skated alongside Michael Sgarbossa and Daniel Sprong on the fourth line during Monday's morning skate, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a hot start, Vrana has now gone three games without a point, managing just four shots in that span. The demotion is likely temporary, but is more than enough justification for fantasy managers to fade the 24-year-old until he can rekindle his scoring touch and log regular minutes in the top six.

Vrana registered a power-play assist while logging 18:50 of ice time during Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The helper gives Vrana four points during a three-game streak. The 24-year-old has benefitted from a larger workload with Alex Ovechkin (COVID-19 protocols) out of the lineup -- averaging 18:47 of ice time in the last two games. The 13th overall pick from the 2014 NHL Entry Draft remains a worthwhile fantasy asset in plenty of formats.

Vrana scored a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

With Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov, among others, unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols, the Caps needed someone else to lead the offense and Vrana came through, setting up Nic Dowd early in the second period for the team's second goal before scoring the tying tally himself later in the frame. Vrana has found the scoresheet in every game but one to begin the season, racking up three goals and five points through five games.
