The 29-year-old said he feels that, since he resigned with the Rangers and over the last five or six games in particular, he’s skating better than ever before.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jimmy Vesey can’t quite put his finger on it.
Thursday night for an 8-2 win. “Getting a good opportunity to play in the top six the last couple of games, so you definitely want to help out and contribute. It’s been a lot of fun.” Vesey posted his first multi-point game of the season in the win over the Red Wings, assisting on Mika Zibanejad’s 5-2 score before finessing a pretty shorthanded goal to cap the Rangers’ scoring frenzy. Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury said before the season that the club’s scouts had their eye on Vesey while he was with Devils last season, during which he had eight goals, including two shorthanded tallies, and seven assists.
“Obviously you see a lot of growth in him as a player but also as a person,” said Zibanejad, one of just two players who was with the Rangers when Vesey first signed with the team in 2016. “How he carries himself, the experience he got and I think he knows what he’s good at. After years you know what you do well, you try to do it as much as possible. You see the way he can skate, the way he can shoot the puck and he makes plays, the little plays that people might not notice.
