Jakub Vrana showed off his skill set in his first time in a Detroit Red Wings uniform.
He was one of two newcomers in Thursday’s game at Little Caesars Arena against the Chicago Blackhawks. Vrana scored a pretty goal in the second period, soaring up ice and ripping the puck from the slot. That stood as the winning goal in the 4-1 final.
It’s the first time the Wings (16-23-6) have won three consecutive games this season. Freed from the stress of the trade deadline and energized by new faces, the Wings look like they finally are building something.
