Jakub Vrana scored his first goal for the Nashville Predators during a game against the Anaheim Ducks. Despite the Predators losing 2-1, Vrana's goal marked a significant moment for him after transitioning from the Washington Capitals. Acquired by GM Barry Trotz, Vrana expressed excitement about reuniting with a coach familiar with his playstyle. He mentioned the warm welcome from his new teammates, highlighting his eagerness to prove himself and make an impact on the ice as he settles in with his new team.
Vrana admitted when he first arrived that he felt encouraged being acquired by Trotz, the head coach he won a Stanley Cup with in Washington.
I was obviously pumped to hear him, he called me, and I was excited to come here and play for this team.
It's been awesome so far. Everyone is so friendly, helping me to kind of settle in.
It's a great opportunity for me to come here and play hard and show what I can do out there.
