Vesey is apparently dealing with an upper-body injury after Tuesday’s game and is questionable for Thursday’s game in Winnipeg. He will travel with the team, but there’s no guarantee that he will play.
Vesey, 23, opted not to sign with the Predators after finishing up his college career at Harvard and also decided not to sign with Buffalo after his rights were acquired in June. He became a free agent last Tuesday and his lengthy process finally ended with him signing with the Rangers. The reigning Hobey Baker award winner is coming off 24 goals and 22 assists (46 points) in 33 games with Harvard.
