Vesey potted a goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Vesey opened the scoring with a wrist shot from the faceoff circle. He's at double digits in goals (11) and assists (14) for the first time since 2018-19, when he completed his third NHL campaign in the Big Apple. Vesey reached 500 career games played last Thursday, though the 2016 Hobey Baker Award winner has yet to stand out offensively after career stops in Buffalo, Toronto, Vancouver and New Jersey, with his service time for the Rangers sandwiching those stints. Overall, Vesey has recorded 83 goals and 77 assists between the aforementioned franchises.

Rangers' Jimmy Vesey: Earns helper in defeat
Rotowire
Vesey garnered an assist against Carolina on Tuesday.
Vesey has put just two shots on net in his last four games and, unsurprisingly, hasn't scored a goal over that stretch. Despite this mini-slump, the 29-year-old winger has already tallied 10 goals and 24 points this season, both of which are thresholds he hasn't reached since 2018-19 during his first stint with the Rangers. Without a power-play role, Vesey's fantasy value and offensive production is likely to be limited to mid-range at best.

Rotowire
Vesey recorded two assists in a 6-2 victory over Carolina on Saturday.
Vesey has nine goals and 20 points in 52 contests this season. He's been a decent offensive contributor lately with two goal and five points in his last seven outings.

That recent increase in responsibilities makes Vesey worth monitoring.

Rotowire
Vesey scored two goals Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
His first goal was pure skill. Vesey got the puck from Vincent Trocheck, made a move around a sliding T.J.

Rangers' Jimmy Vesey: Snags assist Monday
Rotowire
Vesey registered an assist in Monday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Vesey had been mired in a five-game pointless streak before Monday's tally. As a result of his slump, the 29-year-old winger saw himself knocked from a first-line role into the bottom six. While his assist could spark some production, the fact that Vesey has just three shots in his last five games, which is not exactly the type of shoot-first mentality fantasy players likely are hoping for.

Rotowire

Vesey ended a three-game point drought, bringing him up to three goals and eight points in 23 contests this season.

He had just eight goals and 15 points in 68 games last season, so expectations shouldn't be high, but his increased role does give him an opportunity to contribute more offensively.

Devils' Jimmy Vesey: Traveling with team
Rotowire
