Two points in Sunday's win Vesey registered a goal on his only shot, an assist and a plus-1 rating in 18:10 of ice time Sunday in a 5-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Vesey was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Sabres, but he responded with his first multi-point effort of the campaign Sunday. The left-shot winger tied the score at 3-3 in the final frame before adding a helper on J.T. Miller's empty-net marker. Vesey's 18:10 of ice time was a season high, and so long as Chris Kreider (upper body) is sidelined, the former should be a staple on the fourth line. Vesey has chipped in four goals and two helpers over 31 appearances in 2024-25.

Falls out of favor Vesey was scratched for the seventh time in eight games when he sat out Thursday's 6-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact The Rangers have found more success with a fourth line of Adam Edstrom, Sam Carrick and Matt Rempe, leaving Vesey to sit in the press box. The 31-year-old Vesey has four points, 24 shots on net and 14 hits over 26 appearances this season. Head coach Peter Laviolette doesn't look to have interest in messing with the lineup while the Rangers are winning, so Vesey may have to wait until an injury pops up to draw back in, though Jonny Brodzinski is also in the mix to fill a bottom-six role.

Scores early goal in loss Vesey scored a goal on three shots during Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Vesey scored his first goal in over a month by finding the net 17 seconds into Sunday's matchup, but that was the only offensive production that the Rangers mustered against Pyotr Kochetkov. Vesey was on the ice for just 8:00 against the Hurricanes and has had an inconsistent role lately, as he was a healthy scratch in five of the Rangers' nine games leading up to Sunday's matchup. Despite his goal against Carolina, the 31-year-old's fantasy value remains limited, especially considering he's struggled to stay in the lineup on a regular basis.

Provides helper in loss Vesey notched an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Vesey set up a Jonny Brodzinski tally in the first period. The assist snapped a five-game slump for Vesey, who continues to see steady fourth-line usage. The veteran winger has two goals, one assist, 11 shots on net and 10 hits over 11 outings this season. That production is not enough for most fantasy managers, especially when Vesey isn't getting more than scraps for power-play time.

Tallies again Thursday Vesey scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Vesey has two goals over his last three games, which is all of his scoring production through five appearances. The 31-year-old has resumed his role as a bottom-six fixture for the Rangers after recovering from a lower-body injury that kept him out for all of October. The winger has added eight shots on net, six hits and two blocked shots, and he can add a little physicality in addition to his depth scoring.

Scores first goal of season Vesey scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Vesey missed the first 10 games of the campaign due to a lower-body injury. He's filled a fourth-line role since his return, adding five shots on net and three hits in addition to his goal over three games. That kind of usage won't get him on the fantasy radar, and Vesey isn't seeing any power-play time yet, so he won't be able to boost his offense that way either.

Headed for long-term IR Vesey (lower body) will be placed on long-term injured reserve by the Rangers on Monday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vesey was already expected to miss some time due to his lower-body injury but his placement on LTIR will keep him out of the lineup for at least the first 10 games of the campaign. With his stint on the shelf, the Boston native could be in danger of missing the 25-point threshold for the first time in three seasons.

Dealing with minor injury Vesey is being evaluated for a lower-body injury, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Impact Vesey, who spent the offseason rehabbing a separated shoulder suffered in the Eastern Conference Finals, is still expected to open the year in a bottom-six role for the Rangers. Per coach Peter Laviolette, Vesey's new injury "seemed somewhat harmless". The winger recorded 13 goals and 26 points in 80 games in 2023-24.
