Jakub Vrana is heading to Grand Rapids (AHL) for a three-game conditioning stint.

Vrana has not played since Oct. 15th due to personal reasons and will now head to Grand Rapids (AHL) for a three-game conditioning stint. The 26-year-old had a goal, two points and five SOG in his short two-game stint prior to stepping away from the team.

Vrana has not played since Oct. 15th due to personal reasons and has been cleared to return to the Detroit Red Wings in full capacity Friday. The 26-year-old had a goal, two points and five SOG in his short two-game stint prior to stepping away from the team.

Jakub Vrana was placed in the NHL/NHLPA Assistance Program Wednesday

Vrana will be out indefinitely as he enters the NHL/NHLPA Assistance Program. The seven-year veteran was enjoying a strong start to his season, collecting two points (1G/1A) through his first two games to start 2022-23. The Red Wings will hope to have him back in their lineup sooner rather than later as he is an integral part of their top six.

Vrana (shoulder) will make his season debut on Tuesday.

Vrana missed the first five months of the season with a shoulder injury but is set to play Tuesday vs. the Coyotes. Vrana, who had 11 points (8G / 3A) in 11 games after being traded to Detroit last season, will skate on the second line (with Pius Suter and Tyler Bertuzzi) and second power-play unit in his debut.

The Capitals have re-signed Jakub Vrana to a two-year contract worth $6.7M ($3.35M AAV).

After showing flashes of his potential in 2018, Vrana took another step forward in 2019, setting a carer-high in goals (24), assists (23) and points (47) in 82 games. Vrana did that while barely averaging over 14 minutes per game but could easily play closer to 16 minutes in the Capitals top-6 in 2020. With increased playing time, Vrana could be a legit 60-plus point threat.

Vrana will be back in the Capitals lineup on Tuesday.

Vrana has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but he will replace Alex Chiasson in the lineup tonight. Vrana, who has played a prominent role in the Capitals lineup for most of the season, has picked up just 19 points (10G / 9A) in 56 games this season. He should start the game with Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie.

Vrana will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.

Vrana has not scored a goal in 16 games, picking up just three assists over that span, so he will sit as a healthy scratch on Wednesday. The Capitals are looking for more out of their young forward—he had 10 goals and four assists (14 points) in his first 32 games of the season.
