The NHL announced on Wednesday evening that former Washington Capitals forward Jakub Vrána has been placed in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.
FROM THE NHL
The National Hockey League Players’ Association and National Hockey League announced today that forward Jakub Vrana of the Detroit Red Wings will be unavailable to his Club for an indefinite period while he receives care from the player assistance program of the NHL and NHLPA.
Under the terms of the joint program, Vrana will continue to be paid while receiving treatment. He will return to the Club when cleared for on-ice competition by the program administrators.
Vrana’s care will be administered pursuant to the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program.
Vrána had been absent from the team in recent days “for personal reasons”.
We don’t want to speculate what specifically Vrána is dealing with, but we wish him all the best and a speedy return to the Red Wings and the NHL.
