Jakub Vrana is apparently on a quest to out-do the player that he was traded for.
The newly acquired Detroit Red Wings forward tallied four goals against the Dallas Stars tonight, sparking a dominating 7-3 victory for his new teammates:

It's officially Jakub Vrána Appreciation Night! The first was a sweet shot and this was a fantastic deflection to restore the three-goal lead, 4-1 #RedWings. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/ocNIKXy1ua

I mean, hat tricks are nice and all but how many guys score FOUR goals in a game? Jakub Vrána is one! Safe to say he's made a good impression in Detroit! #LGRW pic.twitter.com/HOuovupIdV

Talk about irony! The last Red Wings player to score four goals? Anthony Mantha in October of 2019, also against the Dallas Stars.
Mantha was sent to the Washington Capitals earlier this month in exchange for Vrana and Panik, who also scored tonight as well.
