Capitals' Jakub Vrana: Plays through injury to close season

Vrana played through an unspecified injury during the Capitals' postseason run, Brian McNally of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Vrana didn't notch a point during the postseason, finishing the seven-game series with a minus-1 rating, eight shots on goal, eight hits and two blocked shots. Despite the silent conclusion to his campaign, the third-year winger collected a career-best 47 points -- 24 goals and 23 assists -- over 82 games during the regular season. The marked improvements should shoot him up draft boards heading into 2019-20.
