New York Rangers defender Adam Fox is injured with an upper body injury, according to a person knowing the decision.
Fox should miss a certain time but should come back before the end of the regular season, said the person. The person spoke on Wednesday at the Associated Press under the guise of anonymity because the team did not announce this decision.
Fox, 27, was injured in the third period of the 5-1 victory of the Rangers on Tuesday evening at Icelanders. They are two points back from the second and last place of the JOKER qualifying series at the Eastern Conference with 24 games to play.
The winner of the Norris 2021 trophy recently played a leading role on the blue line for the United States during the confrontation of the four nations. He has 48 points in 58 games for New York this season.
The status of defender K’andre Miller is not clear after being also injured against the Icelanders. And we do not know how Fox’s injury status will affect what Chris Drury director general about the expectation of the defender of free agents without restriction Ryan Lindgren led to the NHL trade deadline on March 7.
