There he was, Jimmy Vesey, with an entire hard-fought 65 minutes of hockey on his back. There he was, as the fifth shooter of the shootout in Columbus on Saturday night with the hopes and dreams of a possible over-.500 hockey club on his shoulders.
He delivered.
His glove-side shot hit the back of the net, ensuring a 5-4 New York Rangers victory over John Tortorella’s Blue Jackets.
