Jakub Vrana has been playing some fantastic hockey of late and that continued Saturday night in Toronto.
The top-six forward scored on a breakway after a heads-up chip up the ice by TJ Oshie. Vrana’s tally gave the Caps a 3-0 lead.

Vrana used his blazing speed to chip Oshie’s misdirect past Nikita Zaitsev into open ice. After catching up to the puck, Vrana gathered it in and beat Leafs goaltender Curtis McElhinney.
Vrana’s celebration was tremendous.
Via Caps PR, Vrana now has three goals in his last three games and four points in his last four games (3g, 1a).
