"Sheary has made a splash for the New York Rangers in his lone preseason game so far. The 33-year-old scored a goal in the Sept. 21 win against the New Jersey Devils, tallying seven shot attempts in total. He also created six scoring chances for himself, including two high-danger opportunities per Natural Stat Trick. Sheary is attempting to make his way back to the NHL after his contract was bought out by the Tampa Bay Lightning this summer."
"There, he put up impressive offensive numbers with 20 goals and 61 points in 59 games. In his last full NHL season in 2022-23, Sheary produced 37 points in 82 games with the Washington Capitals, which is exactly what can be expected out of him moving forward: solid offensive production on fourth-line minutes. He proved that he has the skills to perform during his time in the AHL, and if his preseason performance is any indication, then that can definitely be translated to NHL action as well."
