The loss of Jimmy Vesey to a lower body injury, sustained during practice, complicates the Rangers’ roster plans as they start the season without key players.
Without Vesey and fellow injured player Ryan Lindgren, the Rangers now face cap constraints that may limit them to 12 forwards for the season's start.
Vesey was set for a role on the fourth line but his injury means the Rangers will have to rely on inexperienced players like Adam Edstrom and Matt Rempe.
The adjustment to the Rangers' lineup due to injuries could open opportunities for players like Jonny Brodzinski or Sam Carrick, depending on final camp evaluations.
