After being an NHL regular for nine straight seasons, Sheary was limited to a career-low five games with the Tampa Bay Lightning last season, spending the majority of the campaign with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL), scoring 61 points (20G / 41A) in 59 games. The 593-game NHL veteran will hope for more NHL exposure with the Rangers this season, though he may again be hard-pressed to do so with a two-way contract.

Sheary was recalled on Thursday and played 11:18 time-on-ice in a 5-1 win over the Ottawa Senators, his first NHL action in several months. He was sent down to Syracuse (AHL) earlier this season, scoring 24 points (9G / 15A) in 31 games, his first stint in the AHL since breaking into the league in the 2015-16 season. The 32-year-old Sheary has 267 points (124G / 143A) in 593 career NHL games.

With Anthony Duclair unable to suit up due to an illness, Sheary will be his return to the Tampa Bay lineup. Sheary has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 53 games with the Lightning this season.


Sheary finds himself the odd man out of Tampa Bay's lineup on Wednesday vs. Boston due to Brayden Point returning from a lower-body injury. Sheary has struggled in a reduced role in his first season in Tampa Bay, with only three goals, 13 points, 44 SOG and 12 PIMs in 52 games played in 2023-24.


Sheary will draw back into the Lightning lineup on Tuesday after a hand injury forced him to miss Sunday's game against the Canadiens. Sheary is expected to rotate in on the third line with Alex Barre-Boulet as the Lightning are rolling with unconventional lineup on Tuesday, consisting of five defensemen and 13 forwards.


Sheary has missed the Oilers previous 17 games due to an upper body injury but was activated off the Injured Reserve Thursday and will draw back into the lineup for Tampa Bay in Edmonton. The 31-year-old had struggled offensively prior to his injury with a goal, two assists, 14 SOG, four PIMs and a -3 plus/minus in 13 games played.

Sheary has not played since November 7th but is targeting a December 9th return when the team heads out for a road trip through Western Canada. In 13 games this season, Sheary has three points (1G / 2A), playing up and down the lineup, predominantly alongside Luke Glendening and Michael Eyssimont on the fourth line.
