We haven’t seen Jakub Vrána in a Capitals jersey during the regular season for more than three years. After spending some time with the St. Louis Blues and Detroit Red Wings, Vrána came into training camp this year on a professional tryout agreement (PTO). Translation: Impress the coaches during training camp or you don’t get a roster spot.
In four preseason games, he contributed by getting an assist and scoring one goal off a great feed from Connor McMichael.

Vrána earned praise from his teammates and coaches for his speed and skill.
