With Jonathan Drouin (undisclosed) and Martin Necas (undisclosed) sidelined on Thursday, Jimmy Vesey and Miles Wood will draw into Colorado's lineup. The 31-year-old Vesey is averaging 10:38 time-on-ice and has six points (4G / 2A) in 37 games this season.

Vesey recorded a -1 plus/minus in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames and will return to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Vesey has six points (4G / 2A) in 37 games this season.

Miles Wood will be a healthy scratch on Monday against the Calgary Flames, allowing Vesey to re-enter the lineup. Vesey has not played since March 22nd and has yet to score a point in three games with Colorado.

Vesey has only played one game in the last two weeks and will return to the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Vesey has six points (4G / 2A) in 36 games this season.

Vesey will be scratched along with Miles Wood and Erik Johnson as the Avalanche opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Logan O'Connor, Parker Kelly, and Sam Malinski will all draw in.

Colorado acquired Vesey in a trade from the New York Rangers last week and he will suit up for his team debut on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. The 31-year-old Vesey averaged 10:40 time-on-ice and scored six points (4G / 2A) in 33 games with the Rangers this season.

With Matt Rempe drawing back into the Rangers lineup on Friday against the Dallas Stars, Vesey will be a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Vesey has three points (2G / 1A) in 17 games this season and has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 12.

Vesey was a surprise absence on Monday, and it's unclear whether he is simply a healthy scratch or if he is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Brett Berard will draw into the lineup in his place.

Jonny Bordzinski will draw back into the Rangers lineup on Monday, resulting in Vesey being a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Vesey is averaging a career-low 9:53 time-on-ice, scoring three points (2G / 1A) in 13 games.

The Rangers will be without Vesey in their bottom-six for an extended period due to a lower-body injury after he was placed on long-term injured reserve on Monday. The 31-year-old is entering his third season in New York after joining on a PTO in 2022-23 and put up an impressive 13 goals, 26 points, 20 PIMs and 116 SOG in 80 games played in 2023-24.
