Former Capitals winger Alex Chiasson riding three-game goal streak in return to NHL with Red Wings

Former Capitals winger Alex Chiasson had a delayed start to the NHL portion of his 2022-23 season but has had quite an explosive first few games since joining the Detroit Red Wings. The 32-year-old forward is currently riding a three-game goal streak, with all three markers coming on the power play.

Chiasson, who played for the Caps’ Stanely Cup-winning team in 2018, joined the Red Wings at the trade deadline after spending most of the campaign in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Caps lose again

The Caps lost again. This time it was to the Detroit Red Wings, a team that suddenly includes Jakub Vrana again.

Detroit defender Robert Hagg fired a shot from the slot that Trevor van Riemsdyk aided on its path to the net. A shorthanded goal by Pius Suter made it 2-0 for the Wings, but Tom Wilson’s tip-in got the Caps on the board at least.

The Caps pressed early in the third but Suter’s second goal of the night sealed the deal.

Caps lose 3-1. Their fifth loss in a row. A waste of your time.

Jakub Vrana’s return: Capitals vs Red Wings live blog (February 21, 2023)

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Detroit Red Wings game on February 21, 2023.

The Washington Capitals, losers of four straight in regulation, have fallen out of playoff position and have low odds to make the big dance at the end of the year. The Capitals have two regulation wins in their last 12 games.

Tonight, Washington will face off against the Detroit Red Wings who have won seven of their last 10 and are two points behind the Caps. The Red Wings will be buoyed by the return of Jakub Vrana, who will be playing in his first game since being forced out of DC by Peter Laviolette.

The Capitals will have Nic Dowd back in the lineup. That in turn has sent (one of their best process players this season) Aliaksei Protas back to the minors. Lars Eller will play on the wing.

Tonight’s game is back on NBC Sports Washington and puck drop is shortly after 7:00 pm. The Capitals are wearing their Stadium Series jerseys for one last time.

Jakub Vrana appears set to play against Capitals for first time since being traded to Detroit Red Wings

Jakub Vrana was traded by the Washington Capitals to the Detroit Red Wings on April 12 of 2021. He has played parts of three seasons with the Red Wings and has yet to face his former squad a single time due to a variety of reasons including scheduling, injuries, and a stint in the NHL’s player assistance program.

That all seems like it will change on Tuesday when Detroit comes to DC to play the Caps. Helene St. James reports that Wings coach Derek Lalonde is looking to get Vrana in the lineup for the game.

Jakub Vrana recalled by the Detroit Red Wings after 17-game stint in the AHL

Jakub Vrana has had a pretty insane, up-and-down start to 2023 after spending the first two months of the 2022-23 season in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

The 26-year-old former 2014 first-round draft pick kicked off January by being placed on waivers by the Detroit Red Wings. He ultimately went unclaimed but then only a few days later was made a healthy scratch for multiple games in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Things have turned around for him of late though. Vrana has recorded 10 points (6g, 4a) in his last nine AHL games. That performance has led to the Detroit Red Wings recalling him back to the NHL level.

Jakub Vrana has six goals in his last seven games for the Grand Rapids Griffins

Jakub Vrana had an incredibly eventful start to the 2023 calendar year after spending the first two months of the 2022-23 season in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The 26-year-old former 2014 first-round draft pick kicked off January by being placed on waivers by the Detroit Red Wings. He ultimately went unclaimed but then only a few days later was made a healthy scratch for multiple games in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Things have completely turned around for Vrana as he is now 15 games into what was initially just a conditioning stint with the Griffins. He scored his first goal for the team on January 18 and has not looked back.

In Vrana’s last seven games, he has scored six times and recorded eight total points.
