Vesey (lower body) will be placed on long-term injured reserve by the Rangers on Monday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

Vesey was already expected to miss some time due to his lower-body injury but his placement on LTIR will keep him out of the lineup for at least the first 10 games of the campaign. With his stint on the shelf, the Boston native could be in danger of missing the 25-point threshold for the first time in three seasons.
