GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Playing on the road in Philadelphia Thursday, with many regulars not in the lineup for the Rangers’ final preseason game, Jimmy Vesey had his best game, according to Rangers coach David Quinn.
“He certainly was involved a lot more,’’ Quinn said. “And we need him.’’
Though he is entering his third season with the team, Vesey, 25, admitted he was motivated to finish the preseason strong in order to make a good impression on Quinn, who is in his first year as Rangers coach. And he admitted he was relieved to play well in Philadelphia.
