Rangers' Jimmy Vesey: Ready to return Friday
Vesey (upper body) will be available for Friday evening's matchup with the Blackhawks.
Analysis:
Vesey has been a solid contributor for the Rangers this season, tallying 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 27 games. New York held an optional morning skate Friday and didn't run line rushes, so it isn't clear where Vesey will slot into the lineup against the Blackhawks, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him slide right back into the Rangers' top-six forward group in his first game back from injury.
