Vesey (undisclosed) left Thursday's game against the Rangers and won't return, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey was on the wrong end of a Brady Skjei hit in the second period, and as evidenced by this news, seems to be feeling the effects of the hit. The former Ranger was forced to miss the last 12:35 of the second period due to the hit. With the 26-year-old missing, the Sabres will operate with 11 forwards, with Zemgus Girgensons the likely player to get a bump up to the third line.
