Vesey scored a goal. dished two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey scored 7:01 into the game, converting on a Sam Reinhart pass. It's been a tough start to Vesey's career with the Sabres, as he has 14 points, 65 shots on goal and a plus-11 rating in 44 contests. He's not seeing the power-play time he got with the Rangers in the previous three seasons -- that explains some of his struggles. He's also shooting just 9.2 percent this season, compared to an 11.9 percent success rate in his career.

Vesey was a healthy scratch during Sunday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey played on the top line with Jack Eichel during Saturday's loss to the Canucks, and he recorded two shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 16:47 of ice time. However, Vesey faced a freefall demotion the next day, as he served as a healthy scratch for the first time this season.

Vesey picked up an assist during Saturday's win over Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

The point snapped a mini three-game point drought. Vesey has been a streaky player for the Sabres. All of his points have been scored in two, three, or four-game stretches. Perhaps he'll find the scoresheet again during Monday's visit to Ottawa, to keep that trend going.

Vesey scored a goal and an assist in Friday's 6-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

He helped set up a Casey Mittelstadt tally in the second period, then stole the pack in the Leafs' end and tucked home what proved to be the game-winner midway through the third. Vesey has now tickled twine in three straight games and recorded a point in four straight, but on the season he still has only three goals and seven points through 23 contests.

Vesey scored his first goal of the season in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey's first goal of the campaign took 21 games to arrive, the winger now with four points in 2019-20. Playing 12:37 a night -- the lowest ATOI of Vesey's career -- the former Ranger is not having much luck in Buffalo and is not deserving of a starting spot on your fantasy roster.

Vesey is expected to skate on the top line Thursday against Boston with Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey is somehow still searching for his first goal of the campaign, so if he can't score with his two new linemates, nothing's working. Vesey has a long way to re-prove himself after scoring 17 goals last season with the Rangers, as he only has a measly two assists in 18 games with the Sabres. We'll see how he does with his new grouping, so if you're feeling lucky perhaps he's an uber-shrewd cheap DFS play for a night. Still, Vesey is seeing just six seconds of power-play time per game.

Vesey (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey, who's notched two helpers in 11 games this campaign, will return to a bottom-six role against the Islanders.

Vesey (upper body) has been upgraded from week-to-week to day-to-day but won't play Friday against the Capitals, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey is clearly making progress in his recovery, but there's still no definite timetable for his return to the lineup. Once he's cleared to play, the 26-year-old American, who's notched two assists in 11 games this campaign, will slot into a bottom-six role.

The team announced Sunday that Vesey's status is week-to-week due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey suffered the injury in Thursday's loss to the Rangers, and after being re-evaluated by team doctors was deemed week-to-week. In theory, Vesey still has a chance to suit up in Monday's matchup against Arizona, but if he can't go, Evan Rodrigues figures to continue to slot into the lineup.

Vesey (upper body) won't play in Friday's game against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey won't travel with the team, and he'll instead be evaluated by Buffalo's training staff over the weekend. He'll aim to get back into the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Coyotes, but Evan Rodrigues figures to slot into the lineup for now.
