Vrana paced the NHL with five goals in three contests (5-1-6) as the League-leading Capitals (11-2-3, 25 points) recorded a perfect week to extend their overall point streak to nine games dating to Oct. 16 (8-0-1).
Vrana picked up an assist on Alex Ovechkin's overtime winner in a 4-3 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs Oct. 29. He then posted multiple goals in each of his next two outings, scoring twice in a 6-1 triumph over the Buffalo Sabres Nov. 1 and registering his first career hat trick (as well as the game-winning goal) in a 4-2 victory against the Calgary Flames Nov. 3.
The 23-year-old Prague, Czech Republic, native sits third on Washington with 9‑5-14 through 16 games this season after posting career highs in goals (24), assists (23) and points (47) in 2018-19.
