It looks like Jimmy Vesey will be a healthy scratch in the latest Rangers lines, per Mollie Walker.
#NYR lines based on practice jerseys:
Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko
Panarin-Trocheck-Lafreniere
Vesey-Chytil-Goodrow-Kravtsov
Blais-Carpenter-Reaves— Mollie Walker (@MollieeWalkerr) October 22, 2022
While that may give the impression Vesey is in, later line rushes showed Vesey as the odd man out, with Goodrow-Chytil-Kravtsov as the probably third line. Given how bad the Rangers looked on Thursday night, a little shakeup isn’t surprising. Plus there was a need to get Vitali Kravtsov back in the lineup, and it’s good to see he isn’t on the fourth line.
Sitting Vesey in the latest Rangers lines is a bit surprising, since Dryden Hunt was cut and lost on waivers to make room for Vesey. But we are splitting hairs between Vesey and Hunt. It’s still October, so for those calling for Ryan Reaves to be a part time player, that still very well may happen. Just likely later in the season.
