Vesey has gone 13 games without a goal and is currently mired in an eight-game point drought.

There's not a complicated formula behind this: Vesey is mostly seeing fourth-line minutes, and the Harvard product's occasional samples of significant power-play time haven't paid off. The 23-year-old (for the next 10 days, anyway) winger still has plenty of long-term appeal, but it seems clear that he'll need to add some strength in the offseason in an effort to secure a top-six role next year.
