Vrana Faces Capitals For First Time

He's been through a lot and it's great that he made it back to the NHL.

But Zadina has had a lot of chances and both Rasmussen and Kubalik are out producing him.

Outside of the game Kubalik had those two even strength goals (his best game as a red wing in my opinion), he’s been a non factor while playing on the top line. As far as Rasmussen goes, I just think the guy needs a breather, he’s looked gassed the last few games.

Zadina has outplayed both of them in my opinion, he’s been terrific defensively and consistent on the forecheck and he’s creating scoring chances on his own pushing the puck into the offensive zone. He created two grade A scoring chances against Calgary albeit he failed to score but, I don’t think Suter’s recent offensive success is a coincidence since playing alongside Zadina.
