FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- New York Rangers forward Jimmy Vesey is out, and has been classified as week-to-week with an upper body injury, coach Peter Laviolette said on Saturday.
Vesey took a thundering hit from Florida Panthers' forward Ryan Lomberg in the second period of Game 2 of the Rangers' Eastern Conference Final series Friday. He did not return for the third period, and Laviolette said after the game that Vesey was being evaluated further.
New York took Game 2 with a 2-1 overtime victory to even the series, 1-1.
