Jakub Vrana shows off his flossing during Caps Kid’s interview

Ahead of the opening faceoff between the Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets, Capitals forward Jakub Vrana demonstrated some of his superior athletic abilities.

Vrana was the lucky interview-ee of eight-year-old Myles Dworkin, a young Capitals fan of Kensington, Maryland, who wants to be an on-air reporter when he grows up. Dworkin asked Vrana what his favorite dance move was.

Vrana didn’t just answer–he demonstrated. The two had a bit of a dance-off.

During career best game, Jakub Vrana couldn’t stop smiling

Jakub Vrana reached Peak V status against the Philadelphia Flyers, Tuesday night.

Once an off-and-on healthy scratch during the Barry Trotz regime, the Czech forward registered his first career three-point night in the Caps’ 5-3 victory over the Flyers. Vrana’s two goals against Philly gave him a new career high of 14 in 31 fewer games than last year.

How has the 22-year-old Vrana improved? “Just the little details,” he said to NBC Sports Washington’s Al Koken after the game. “Being around those guys, it’s great. We have a great group of guys here and that’s making me a better hockey player.”

It’s also making him a happy hockey player.

Evgeny Kuznetsov went after the puck along the boards and chipped it back to John Carlson. After puckhandling around the defending Predators, Carlson passed the puck, while falling over, to the stick of young Vrana.

Vrana tucked the puck past Pekka Rinne’s pads, bringing the Capitals on 2-0 after an earlier Michal Kempny tally.

Alex Ovechkin gave Jakub Vrana an unending face wash after the Czech forward scored unassisted

Way back in 2015, Alex Ovechkin opened up in an interview with Jeremy Roenick. Ovechkin told the Hall of Fame forward his true passions in life.

“I love to celebration,” Ovechkin said. “I love to goals.”

Ovechkin, who has some of the most enthusiastic cellies in the game, often celebrates his teammates’ goals more than his own — which is why I’d like to point you to the Capitals’ game Saturday against the Ottawa Senators.
