Rangers Place D Adam Fox (Upper Body) on Long-Term Injured Reserve
Fox, the Rangers' top power-play point man with eight points on 13 power-play goals, will miss at least 10 games and 24 days due to an upper-body injury.
- New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox was placed on long-term injured reserve Sunday with an upper-body injury after a third-period hit by Brandon Hagel Saturday.
- During Saturday's 4-1 loss, Brandon Hagel checked Adam Fox into the boards in the third period, and Coach Mike Sullivan did not provide an immediate update on the injury.
- As a 2021 Norris Trophy winner, Adam Fox has three goals and 23 assists in 27 games, tying Artemi Panarin for the team scoring lead while anchoring the top defense pair and first power-play unit.
- Placing Fox on long-term injured reserve means he must miss at least 10 games and 24 days, cannot return before Dec. 24, and frees $3.8 million cap relief for Chris Drury.
- CBS Sports notes the earliest Fox could return is December 27, while ESPN-sourced second opinions say the injury may not affect his Olympic availability; Olympic rosters are due Dec. 31, and the Rangers have options like rookie Scott Morrow.
