Report: Fox expected to miss 2-4 weeks after hit from Aho
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox is expected to miss two-to-four weeks after taking a knee-on-knee hit from Sebastian Aho during Thursday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes, sources told The Athletic's Arthur Staple.
The Rangers placed the star rearguard on long-term injured reserve, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.
Fox was injured in the first period of the 2-1 victory. He attempted to stay in the game but went to the dressing room toward the end of the opening frame.
Fox is off to a tremendous start this campaign, managing 11 points in 10 games while averaging 21:04 per contest. The 25-year-old has been a Norris Trophy finalist in two of the past three years, winning the award in 2021.
The Rangers currently pace the Metropolitan Division with an 8-2-0 record through 10 games.
