Vesey scores in 3rd as Rangers beat Jets 3-1

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Jimmy Vesey scored with 3:53 left in the third period, and the New York Rangers beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 on Sunday.

Vesey returned to the lineup after missing three games with a concussion and picked up his 11th of season when he deflected Brady Skjei's shot after it hit a Jets player.

It looked as if Dustin Byfuglien tied it for Winnipeg with 1:22 remaining, but his goal was called off because of teammate Mark Scheifele's high stick. Michael Grabner then scored an empty-net goal for New York with 43 seconds left.
