Vesey tallied a helper against the Bruins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey ended a six-game pointless streak with his tally and is just three points shy of matching in career-high 28 set last year. A highly-touted prospect coming out of Harvard University, the 25-year-old has managed to hit the 25-point mark in each of his three seasons in the NHL, but hasn't managed to make the turn from solid depth scorer to top-end offensive weapon.

Vesey will be a healthy scratch Wednesday evening, when the Rangers play host to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The term "healthy scratch" is among the most dreaded in the fantasy hockey lexicon, especially when it involves a guy like Vesey, who draws heavy ownership figures. Vesey has 10 goals and just as many assists over 38 games this season, but he missed the scoresheet entirely in the final two games of 2018.

Vesey dished out a helper to go with a team-high four shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey got the puck to Brett Howden, who did the heavy lifting by entering the zone with possession and sending a perfect feed in front to Vladislav Namestnikov for the game-tying tally with 10:08 remaining. With a goal and five assists over the past seven games, Vesey's up to 18 points through 33 contests.

Vesey scored two goals in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sabres
EDGE Analysis
One of Vesey's goals came on an empty net, and the two markers were his first snipes since Oct. 7. The 25-year-old is still looking for his first 20-goal season and has gotten off to a very slow start to 2018-19. Perhaps Sunday's performance is the start of a hot streak.

Vesey scored two goals in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey's first goal came in the game's first minute, marking the beginning of what was a high-scoring affair and a game that saw 13 goals scored in total. The former Harvard standout is coming off back-to-back seasons of 27 and 28 points but has been a bit of a disappointment thus far in the Big Apple. Vesey is likely to get ice-time in all situations, so he has the potential to be a consistent point producer if he continues to work at his game.

Vesey agreed to a two-year contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Jim Cerny of Sporting News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey was thought to be headed for arbitration, but he's since signed a contract with New York. He collected 28 points (17 goals, 11 assists) through 79 games with the Rangers during the 2017-2018 campaign.

Vesey elected for salary arbitration Thursday, according to NHLPA.com.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey claimed the 2016 Hobey Baker Award with Harvard and jumped to hockey's biggest stage with an incredible amount of hype. However, he's been somewhat disappointing from a fantasy standpoint, having accumulated only 33 goals and 22 assists against a minus-31 rating through his first 159 games with the Rangers. It'll certainly be interesting to see what kind of deal he ultimately gets after under the terms of a standard contract.

Vesey has received a qualifying offer from the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This move comes as no surprise considering the 25-year-old Harvard product netted 33 goals over his first two seasons. New York retains Vesey's rights with this move, thus keeping him from hitting unrestricted free agency.

Vesey secured 17 goals and 11 assists in 79 games, while averaging 14:20 of ice time and firing 136 shots on net.
EDGE Analysis
After posting 16 goals and 11 assists as a rookie, Vesey nearly matched his point total identically, but was able to find the twine one extra time. Although, the youngster was able to secure five more points at even strength in 2017-18, which is a positive sign as he grows more accustomed to NHL pace. Vesey skated on the power-play unit all of the season but just bagged three points, and if he can settle in and start scoring consistently on the man advantage, it wouldn't be surprising if he can re-up his career high next season. The Harvard standout should fit back into the Rangers' top-six forward group in 2017-18, but he will need a new deal as he's a restricted free agent.

Vesey scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
He also chipped in three shots and a plus-2 rating. Vesey has only hit the scoresheet twice in March, but both times he piled up three points, with his other offensive explosion coming March 12 against the 'Canes when he recorded a hat trick. The second-year winger now has a career-high 17 goals on the season, and he's two points shy of tying the 27 points he produced in 2016-17.
