Rangers' Jimmy Vesey: Set to make NHL debut

Vesey will make his NHL debut in Thursday's season opener against the Islanders on the top line alongside Derek Stepan and Mats Zuccarello.

His Opening Night roster spot was never really in question, but a top-line assignment has to come as a bit of a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners who took the plunge weeks ago. Vesey came along quickly in training camp and was fortunate to escape uninjured from a dangerous hit in preseason action last week; now we'll see how he looks when the games start counting. As a 23-year-old who racked up a ridiculous 104 points in 70 games over his last two college seasons, Vesey has tremendous offensive upside.
