New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox registered two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Florida. After logging only one point in the previous seven games, Fox helped Vincent Trocheck get a power-play goal in the first period and grabbed another assist early in the third when Alexis Lafreniere found the back of the net. Fox started the playoffs well but has been struggling offensively for a while. All of his seven points in 14 postseason games have come via assists.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox did not skate for the second day in a row on Thursday due to what is being described as maintenance. His status for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal against the Carolina Hurricanes is unclear. "When our players return to the ice, they return to the ice," Rangers bench boss Peter Laviolette said on Thursday. "So, if he's cleared for practice he's cleared for practice." It's worth noting that Fox took a knee-on-knee hit from Capitals blueliner Nick Jensen in Sunday's series-clinching victory. The 26-year-old tallied 17 goals and 73 points in 72 regular-season games but was limited to just a pair of assists across the four-game, first-round series with the Caps.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox (lower body) is skating as a full participant in practice and is expected to be activated off LTIR on Wednesday when he is first eligible. Fox will miss Monday's game against the Buffalo Sabres, but that will be his 10th game on LTIR, meaning he can return Wednesday against Detroit. Fox has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 10 games this season and should immediately return to his top pairing and first powerplay duties upon return. The 25-year-old should be activated in all fantasy leagues as soon as he returns. Erik Gustafsson will see a large decrease in his role when Fox returns, making him droppable in most fantasy leagues.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox skated with the team for the second straight day in a non-contact jersey as he works his way back from a lower-body injury sustained Nov. 2 versus the Carolina Hurricanes. When asked about a timetable for the all-world blueliner, Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette said "I'm going to stay away from timetables." The Rangers have managed to persevere without their top rear guard as they have gone 4-0-1 in Fox's absence. He was once again enjoying a big season prior to hitting the shelf as Fox has notched three goals and 11 points across 10 games on the campaign with nine of those points coming on the man advantage.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox (lower body) was placed on long-term Injured Reserve on Friday. He was forced to exit Thursday's 2-1 win over Carolina after being involved in a collision with Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho, and Fox now won't be eligible to play until Nov. 29. He will start a 10-game absence Saturday versus Minnesota. Fox is the leader of the Rangers blue line, and his absence will be felt all over the ice. The two-time All-Star has racked up 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 10 games this season with 15 shots on goal and 12 blocks. Erik Gustafsson is poised to replace Fox on the first power-play unit, which will give a nice boost to his fantasy stock. The Rangers have the third-best power play in the league with a 32.4 percent efficiency.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox left Thursday night's contest versus the Carolina Hurricanes early with an apparent injury following a collision with Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Obviously, any lengthy absence for the 25-year-old would be a significant blow for the Rangers. Fox has erupted for 11 points through the first nine games this season after registering 72 points in 82 games last season, finishing as the Norris Trophy runner-up to Erik Karlsson in the process. In his absence, Erik Gustafsson is the likeliest candidate to take over as the lone defenseman on the Rangers' top power-play unit while Jacob Trouba would likely take over as the No. 1 defenseman on the right side of the club's blueline.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox posted two assists in Saturday's must-win game against New Jersey. He had a power-play helper when Chris Kreider tied the game at one and registered an even-strength assist as Vladimir Tarasenko ended up with the game-winning goal in a 5-2 victory. Fox appears to relish the high-pressure situations and has now become the fifth-fastest defenseman in NHL history to reach 30 career postseason points, having done so in his 29th game. He had gone scoreless in three games prior to Saturday, but Fox is still among the team's most prolific players this postseason with eight points in six outings.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox didn't need any time to heat up in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, finishing a 5-1 victory over New Jersey with four assists. He joined Paul Coffey as the only defensemen in NHL history with multiple four-assist outings in the postseason. Fox had two helpers on the power play and hit four points when Filip Chytil scored an empty netter late in the game. For a long time, Dave Maloney was the lone Rangers defenseman with a four-assist game in the playoffs, but Fox has now done it in back-to-back years. He had a very special postseason in 2022 with 23 points in 20 games and it looks like Fox won't take it easier in 2023 either.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox scored the team's second goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo, posting his ninth point in 10 games. Fox started the scoring run with a six-game point streak and has kept adding to his tally. It's been another fruitful campaign for the 25-year-old, with Fox having notched 68 points across 76 games. He has added 118 blocks on the defensive end while registering a plus-29 rating. There are six more games left for Fox to surpass the career-high 74 points he had a season ago.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox had a huge night against Florida on Monday, notching a goal and two assists while finishing a 6-2 victory with a plus-five rating. He opened the scoring with his 10th goal of the season and tallied his helpers on a pair of Mika Zibanejad strikes, one of which came with the man advantage. Fox has been on fire since the turn of the year with 13 points in 10 games and it's pushed him to 48 points overall for the season. He has joined a group of six blue-liners to average at least a point per game.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox hit 200 career points in Sunday's 5-3 victory over Florida with two assists. He had a hand in Mika Zibanejad's power-play goal and helped Chris Kreider to notch an even-strength goal. Fox reached the 200-point plateau in his 241st career game, and over the last 30 years, Cale Makar and Sergei Zubov are the only blue-liners in the league to get there quicker. 37 of Fox's points have come this season in 38 appearances. He is once again among the most prolific rearguards in the league and is looking to reach a new career high in points.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox broke an offensive slump with a three-assist effort in Sunday's big 7-1 victory over the Blackhawks. After posting just one point in his previous four appearances, Fox had already two assists in the first period, and he completed his hat trick of helpers on the power play in the second. The 24-year-old also bagged a pair of blocks and was plus-four for the night in 20:32 of ice time. This was his 34th career multi-assist game, and since Fox's debut in 2019-20, only Nashville's Roman Josi (39) has more among all defensemen. He moved on to 34 points for the campaign, and Fox is now tied for the third-most assists among rearguards this season with 27 helpers.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox missed Sunday's practice session with an illness. He is now in danger of missing his first game of the season if Fox doesn't better by Monday when the Rangers host the red-hot Devils. This would be a very bad blow for the team, as Fox's running mate Ryan Lindgren (upper body) is already questionable for the game after getting hurt Friday versus Edmonton. Fox collected his 24th point of the campaign Friday, which puts him behind only Erik Karlsson (30) on the defensemen scoring list. He logs nearly 25 minutes per game and his absence would clearly leave a huge gap on the Rangers blue line. Jacob Trouba will be asked to do more if Fox isn't available, and everybody at back will need to step up if Lindgren can't go either Monday.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox went off for four points in Thursday's 6-2 road win in Detroit, scoring his fourth goal of the season and recording three assists. He bagged an assist in all situations, reaching his second four-point performance. Only four rearguards have recorded more four-point games with the Rangers, with Brian Leetch at the top of the pile with 14 such efforts. Fox is now averaging over a point per game for the season and will head into the next matchup holding a four-game point streak. He's a Norris Trophy candidate again and currently sits third in defensemen scoring with 16 points in 15 games.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox continued his outstanding postseason with two assists in Friday's 3-2 win over the Lightning. He helped Kaapo Kakko and Mika Zibanejad on the board. Fox has certainly enjoyed the home atmosphere in the playoffs, registering 13 points in nine appearances at the Madison Square Garden. He's exploded for 22 points in 16 games in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs and will enter Sunday's Game 3 with a four-game multi-point streak. The reigning Norris Trophy winner has been scoreless just twice this postseason, so it's pretty likely that he maintains his scoring form.
Adam Fox Heads Into Game 7 With Chance To Make History
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox will have a chance to set a new NHL record on Monday as he looks to become the most prolific defenseman in elimination games during a single postseason. He's tallied eight points in elimination games this year and that puts him level with Ray Bourque, Ian Turnbull and Denis Potvin. Fox is riding a four-game point streak ahead of Monday's big Game 7 against Carolina, and he leads all blue-liners in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs with 16 points.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox completed the first-round series against Pittsburgh with an assist, becoming the first player in franchise history to record a point in all seven games of a series. He's the fourth defenseman in league history to achieve it. The 2021 Norris Trophy winner had a total of three goals and seven assists in the series. Dating back to the regular season, Fox has gone pointless just once in his last 13 appearances, so the Hurricanes will face a red-hot player in the second round. The two teams met four times during the regular season and Fox had two points in the matchup with a pair of assists.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox made a huge impact with four assists in Friday's 5-3 win over Pittsburgh. He became the first Rangers defenseman to record four points in a potential elimination game. The 24-year-old has had a very prolific series and hasn't yet gone pointless a single time in six games, notching three goals and six assists. Colorado's Cale Makar is the only blue-liner with more points (10) in this year's playoffs. Fox logs massive minutes for the team and should have a big part to play again in Sunday's Game 7.
Adam Fox Finishes Three-Point Night With Game-Winner
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox enjoyed his fourth three-point outing of the season on Tuesday against Anaheim, picking up a pair of assists and finishing things off with a 4-3 game-winner in overtime. He tallied a game-high six shots and also blocked three efforts from the opposition. Fox is playing some really good stuff right now, having already collected 11 points in seven outings this month. He's climbed up to 61 points for the campaign and continues to chase down the top spot on the defensemen scoring list. Only Cale Makar (66) and Roman Josi (69) are ahead of him.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox tallied three assists as the team beat St. Louis on Wednesday 5-3. The reigning Norris Trophy winner helped Alexis Lafreniere to open the scoring 8:55 into the game and then went on to grab a couple of more assists during a big three-goal period in the third. Fox now has eight three-point efforts to his name and only two Rangers defensemen have managed more within their first three NHL seasons. The Norris Trophy rarely gets handed out to the same player in two consecutive years, but Fox is making a big case for himself to defend the award. He's third in scoring among all defensemen with 53 points and has also been a major force defensively, producing 104 blocks in 51 games.
