Capitals' Jakub Vrana: Pockets assist in loss
Jakub Vrana notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.Vrana returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch. He had been replaced in the lineup by Michael Sgarbossa, who was sent to AHL Hershey on Thursday. Vrana now has five points and 14 shots on net over 10 appearances this season, but it appears he'll never be fully secure in the lineup. He's one point shy of his output from 21 games with the Blues last season, but the uncertainty in his playing time makes the 28-year-old winger a non-factor in many fantasy formats.

Capitals' Jakub Vrana: Manages helper Tuesday
Jakub Vrana posted an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.Vrana has two points through four contests to begin 2024-25, which has been enough to keep him in the lineup as a bottom-six forward. The winger has added four shots on net and a plus-2 rating. Vrana's ice time is too limited to make him a reliable source of offense in fantasy, and it's unclear if he'll be able to play his way into a more prominent role.

Capitals' Jakub Vrana: Tallies in win
Jakub Vrana scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.Vrana tallied in the first game of his second stint with the Washington Capitals. The winger was a healthy scratch for the season opener, and he saw just 8:46 of ice time Tuesday, so he's not guaranteed to play every game. The 28-year-old struggled to six points in 21 appearances with the Blues last year, and at this stage of his career, he has a lot to prove on offense before he could be trusted again as a depth forward in fantasy.

Capitals' Jakub Vrana: Secures tryout
Jakub Vrana agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with Washington on Thursday.Vrana saw action in 21 games for the Blues last year in which he notched two goals on 42 shots, four assists and nine hits while averaging 12:08 of ice time. The 28-year-old winger spent parts of five seasons with the Washington Capitals, including the club's Stanley Cup-winning 2017-18 campaign. Heading into the upcoming season, Vrana will likely need to edge out the likes of Michael Sgarbossa or Sonny Milano to secure a permanent NHL deal -- though a two-way contract could also be an option for the Caps if Vrana is willing to go that route.

Blues' Jakub Vrana: Headed back to minors
Jakub Vrana was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Friday.Vrana's demotion comes as Justin Faulk (lower body) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. In four games since being brought back up from the minors, the 27-year-old Vrana has served as a healthy scratch twice, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him dropped from the 23-man roster.

Blues' Jakub Vrana: Up from minors
Jakub Vrana was called up from AHL Springfield on Thursday.Vrana was waived Dec. 12 and reassigned to Springfield after scoring just two goals and six points in 19 contests with St. Louis. He excelled in Springfield, though, providing four goals and eight points in seven games. Perhaps his time in the AHL has helped the 27-year-old as he now looks to build off that success in St. Louis.

Blues' Jakub Vrana: Waived Tuesday
Jakub Vrana was designated for waivers by the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.Vrana has played in just four of St. Louis' last 10 contests and isn't expected to suit up against Detroit on Tuesday either. Given his pricey cap hit ($2.625 million), the team has opted to either bury his deal in the minors or hope somebody claims him off waivers. A Stanley Cup winner, Vrana does have 365 games of NHL experience in which he has racked up 110 goals and 99 assists. As such, Vrana could be an intriguing option for one of the league's other 31 teams.

Blues' Jakub Vrana: Tallies in win
Jakub Vrana scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Lightning.Vrana snapped an eight-game goal drought with the second-period marker. The 27-year-old winger is up to two tallies, six points, 28 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 12 appearances. He's been an occasional healthy scratch, but it appears Vrana is holding a spot over Nikita Alexandrov for now, though it's not one that will lead to much fantasy relevance.
