Rangers’ Jimmy Vesey set to return vs. Islanders after being on long-term IR
NY Post
It’s been a long time for Jimmy Vesey, who missed the final games of the 2024 Eastern Conference final after being assaulted by the Panthers’ Ryan Lomberg in Game 2 and has been on long-term injured reserve for the first 10 contests of this season after going down in training camp.
Last spring’s upper-body injury (perhaps a shoulder) came on May 24.
The training camp mishap occurred Sept. 29, one originally believed “somewhat harmless” by head coach Peter Laviolette when Vesey limped to the room after going down in a drill.
The 31-year-old winger, who has been practicing with the club without restriction for the last week, is eligible to be activated for Sunday’s Garden matinee against the Islanders.
When Vesey is added to the roster, the Blueshirts will presumably dispatch Matt Rempe — a healthy scratch for Friday’s 2-1 victory over the Senators at the Garden — to the AHL Wolf Pack in order to keep the roster at 13 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
Rempe, who played two games with Hartford last weekend after he was first dispatched to the AHL, has played three games for the Rangers in which he amassed a sum of 16:18 of ice time.
