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

Vesey (lower body) will be out of action for a few weeks, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey is projected to miss the start of the 2024-25 season after being injured in Sunday's practice. He produced 13 goals and 26 points in 80 regular-season games last year. With Vesey unavailable, Adam Edstrom or Brennan Othmann could land a spot on the Rangers' Opening Night roster.

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

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 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Vesey is expected to be ready to start the season after experiencing a separated shoulder during New York's postseason run, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey registered 26 points in 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24 while filling a bottom-six role. The 31-year-old recorded three points in 12 postseason outings before separating his shoulder. The former Hobey Baker winner will likely slot in on New York's fourth line in 2024-25 while also chipping in as a penalty killer.
