Jimmy Vesey, a player for the New York Rangers, was hit in the mouth by a puck during practice, causing concern among the team. The incident occurred when the puck came off the crossbar unexpectedly. Vesey was absent from the ice for treatment but later returned with a full face shield. Adam Edstrom was also recalled for precautionary reasons, unrelated to Vesey's injury.
#NYR Jimmy Vesey also appears to be sporting a full bowl after taking a puck to the face in practice
FWIW: Vesey is sporting the full face shield tonight after getting hit with the puck at yesterday's practice. He and Goodrow are twins #NYR
The Rangers recalled Adam Edstrom from Hartford for precautionary reasons. Sounds like there's a player who woke up feeling a bit under the weather today. This has nothing to do with Jimmy Vesey getting hit in the face by a puck yesterday.
On the puck that hit Vesey during #NYR practice, Laviolette said, "It came off the crossbar, quick and hard, and totally unexpected." "I'm certainly hoping he's OK, but I don't have a full update."
Word is that Vesey got hit with a puck in the mouth earlier in practice and left to get it worked on. #NYR
Just noticing that Jimmy Vesey is not on the ice right now. I didn’t see him leave.
