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 will miss Monday's game vs. the Kings for personal reasons, so look for Joe Veleno to draw back into the lineup to replace him. Filip Zadina will skate on the second line with Vrana out.
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.
Vrana was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Richard Panik on the third line on Tuesday. Vrana has not scored in 11 games, firing just nine shots on goal over that stretch.
On the day where the Capitals activated Ilya Samsonov and Evgeny Kuznetsov from the list, Vrana was the latest player to be added to the list by the Capitals. There's a chance that Kuznetsov will replace Vrana in the lineup on Tuesday.
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.
