The former fan-favorite returns to the Capitals after a stint with the St. Louis Blues, aiming to revive his NHL career.

Jakub Vrana, 28, signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Washington Capitals after a successful preseason tryout.
Originally drafted by the Capitals in 2014, Vrana was instrumental in the team’s 2018 Stanley Cup victory.
