Vesey scored a goal on his only shot in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey extended New York's lead to 2-0 in the closing seconds of the first period, beating Jordan Binnington with a wrister off the rush. It's the first goal since Feb. 12 for Vesey, who had just two assists in his previous nine games. The 30-year-old winger is up to 13 goals and 20 points through 61 games this season. With the newly acquired Jack Roslovic joining Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider on the Rangers' top line, Vesey will likely settle for a fourth-line role going forward.

Vesey (lower body) is good to play Thursday against New Jersey, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey was questionable for the contest after being absent from Wednesday's practice, but it looks like he won't miss any playing time due to the injury. He has 12 goals and 18 points in 54 outings in 2023-24. Vesey is projected to play on the top line alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad versus the Devils.

Vesey missed Wednesday's practice due to a lower-body injury.

Vesey scored into an empty net on Monday, capping off a 2-0 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey has scored three goals in his last three games, but it's a trend that might not continue. In his last four games, he has just three shots and has topped out at 13:16 of ice time. He hasn't played more than 14:35 in his last 12 contests, which is a product of his fourth-line role in a strong Rangers offense.

Vesey scored two goals on two shots with a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers' checking lines carried the offense on the night and gave the stars a break, as Vesey scored the team's first and last goals while Jonny Brodzinski potted the game-winner. Vesey had found the back of the net just once in his prior 13 games, but on the season the 30-year-old winger has 11 goals in 49 games. The winger is on pace to match or even top the career-high 17 he's reached twice, the last time coming in the 2018-19 campaign.

Vesey had one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers notched a thrilling victory in their first action after the All-Star break, but Vesey didn't contribute much to the win. Only Vesey (9:14) and Tyler Pitlick (7:59) skated fewer than 10 minutes for the Blueshirts in Monday's game, and their line with Barclay Goodrow was on the ice for Colorado's lone goal of the night. Vesey has gone four contests without a point, leaving him stuck on nine goals and five assists this season.

Vesey scored a goal on his only shot while adding a blocked shot, a hit and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey capped the scoring 2:41 into the third period with his eighth goal of the season, just 1:10 after Jacob Trouba had restored New York's two-goal cushion. Vesey is enjoying a solid eighth NHL season in a bottom-six role, as he's on pace to challenge the career high of 17 goals he set in 2017-18 and matched the following season during his first stint on Broadway.
