Logs helper Tuesday Vrana notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Vrana was scratched for 10 games between Nov. 23 and Dec. 14, but he's now played in consecutive contests. Vrana and Hendrix Lapierre are essentially in competition for the last spot in the lineup, which is the third-line left wing slot. For the season, Vrana has eight points, 20 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 18 appearances, so he shouldn't be expected to be a major fantasy contributor.

Scores again in Sunday's win Vrana scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Vrana's tally was the game-winner, his first such goal this season. It came at 2:49 of the second period, and it was his second goal in as many games. The 28-year-old winger is up to four tallies, three assists, 18 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 14 contests. He may not be in the lineup every game and is often limited to bottom-six minutes when he plays, so he doesn't have much fantasy value. He did surpass his point total from 2023-24 (six in 21 games) with Sunday's goal.

Impact Vrana tied the game at 1-1 in the opening frame after receiving a pass from Pierre-Luc Dubois. Vrana added two shots and one hit in 11:49 of ice time. It was only the second occasion this season that the left-shot forward received more than 10:57 of ice time, so his role and opportunities are limited. Vrana has produced three goals, three assists and a plus-4 rating through 13 appearances.

Impact 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.

Manages helper Tuesday Vrana posted an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact 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.

Tallies in win Vrana scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Vrana tallied in the first game of his second stint with the 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.
