Vesey scored three times -- once on an empty net -- during Monday's 6-3 win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
This was Vesey's first multi-goal showing since Nov. 8, and he entered Monday's contests with just a single tally and no assists through his previous 13 outings. Perhaps, he catches lightning in a bottle to finish the season, but fantasy owners shouldn't view the 24-year-old winger as a reliable option in most settings. It's worth noting that Vesey skated on an intriguing line with Vladislav Namestnikov and Pavel Buchnevich against Carolina, so there's potential for an uptick in scoring moving forward.

Vesey recorded three shots and a minus-1 rating in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
New York's selloff at the trade deadline has opened the door for Vesey to take on a top-six role, as he skated on a line with Mats Zuccarello and Vladislav Namestnikov here while tying the latter for second on the team with 1:16 of power-play time. The 24-year-old Harvard product has had trouble producing consistently at the NHL level, but he should get every opportunity to show off his skills for the rest of this season.

Vesey (concussion) will rejoin the lineup Sunday against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey has missed three contests due to a concussion suffered against the Predators on Feb. 3, but that streak will come to an end Sunday when he retakes the ice. He's expected to slot in alongside David Desharnais and Jesper Fast on the third line and should retake his spot on the man advantage.

Vesey (concussion) took part in Thursday's practice wearing a non-contact jersey
EDGE Analysis
Vesey attending practice is a step in the right direction, but the fact that he hasn't been cleared for contact doesn't bode well for his availability against the Flames on Friday. The Boston native has already missed two outings since sustain his concussion. Vinni Lettieri should continue to deputize in Vesey's stead.

Vesey, who has already been ruled out of Monday's game against Dallas, is dealing with a concussion.
EDGE Analysis
The Harvard product suffered the injury Saturday when Filip Forsberg of the Predators put a late hit -- for which he was suspended three games -- on Vesey. It was widely expected that Vesey had a concussion before the official announcement was made, though there still hasn't been any mention of a potential timeline for his return.

Vesey (head) will not be in the lineup against Dallas on Monday, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey exited Saturday's outing against Nashville after taking a high hit from Filip Forsberg -- who was suspended three games for the incident. The Rangers have yet to officially announce a prognosis for the 24-year-old Vesey, but all signs point to a concussion, which could keep him out long term. In order to fill out the roster, New York recalled Vinni Lettieri from AHL Hartford.

Vesey suffered an upper-body injury Saturday against the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Though Vesey is officially listed as being out with an upper-body issue, he left the game with a bloody mouth after taking an elbow from Filip Forsberg. With Pavel Buchnevich already out, if Vesey can't play Monday against the Stars the Rangers will be quite shorthanded at wing.

Vesey fired three shots on net and missed on three more in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Vesey has just one point in his past 10 games, but his three shots on goal here represent the 24-year-old forward's high-water mark in the category over that stretch. Coach Alain Vigneault took notice of Vesey's high motor in this game, rewarding him with 18:06 of ice time. That's the most Vesey's played since Dec. 1.

Vesey failed to mark the scoresheet in 15:54 of ice time during Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
On the bright side, Vesey topped the 15-minute mark for the third time in four games after failing to do so in each of his previous 10. The 24-year-old Harvard product is starting to come into his own at the highest level, and Vesey still made contributions in this one despite the disappointing result. On his best shift, he just missed wide on a partial breakaway and later drew a penalty in the defensive zone.

Vesey stretched his current scoring streak to three games and three points with a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
He has two goals and one assist on this streak. Vesey is on pace for an incremental increase on his 27-point rookie effort in 2016-17. Right now, his fantasy value is limited -- he needs to do more to be rostered in most formats.
