JAKUB VRANA NEWS

Waived Tuesday Vrana was designated for waivers by the Blues on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Tallies in win Vrana scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Lightning.

Impact 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.

Picks up helper Vrana notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Impact Vrana snapped a three-game point drought with the helper on Kevin Hayes' first goal of the contest. In that span, Vrana was also a healthy scratch twice. The 27-year-old winger is up to four points, 13 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through seven contests, but he hasn't secured his place in the Blues' lineup. When he plays, it's often been in a third-line role, so his fantasy appeal is also fairly low.

Directs three shots on net Vrana posted three shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 15:20 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Vrana returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for two straight games. The 27-year-old was active on offense against the divisional foe, including a breakaway opportunity in the second period. He's skating on the third line and still handling power-play minutes, but he'll be tough to trust for fantasy purposes until he cements himself in the lineup.

Healthy scratch Thursday Vrana was a healthy scratch in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Flames, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports.

Impact Vrana is in the last season of a three-year, $15.75 million contract that he signed with the Red Wings in August of 2021. Head coach Craig Berube said before the game that Vrana's performance hasn't been up to the team's standards despite the 27-year-old scoring a goal and adding two assists through five games. Vrana will certainly get another chance in the lineup, but his fantasy relevance will be flaky unless he can establish himself in the top six.

Grabs two points in loss Vrana picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Vrana got St. Louis on the board in the second period with his first goal of the season, ripping a wrist shot past Connor Ingram from the slot before picking up an assist on a Sammy Blais tally in the third. The 27-year-old Vrana now has a goal and two assists through three games to start the year, picking up where he left off with the Blues last season when he tallied 10 goals and 14 points in 20 games following a midseason trade from Detroit.

Nets two goals in loss Vrana scored twice on five shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Wild.

Impact Vrana was initially a game-time decision after needing stitches on his nose from taking a skate blade to the face at the morning skate. He wore extra face protection in the game, and it didn't slow him down. The 27-year-old has four goals over his last four contests, and he's up to five goals, one assist, 26 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-1 rating through 10 outings between the Blues and the Red Wings this season.
