New York Rangers winger Jimmy Vesey hasn’t lived up to expectations so far this season. The sophomore slump had claimed another victim, as it does so many high-profile second-year players. However, things may be turning around for the former Boston College product.
The difference a year makes
In his rookie season, Vesey took the league by storm. He recorded nine points, including six goals, in his first 10 games with the New York Rangers. All of this while primarily playing a secondary role in what was a well-balanced forward lineup. This year, with several lineup flaws and questions marks, he hasn’t had the same early-season impact.
