Adam Fox, the 21-year-old defenseman from Jericho, via Harvard, has been a Rangers fan his entire life, and so, yes, he said, he is “pretty excited’’ to make his Rangers preseason debut Wednesday against the Devils.
“My first time in a Rangers jersey at MSG, yeah,’’ Fox said after practice Tuesday. “Obviously, it’s preseason, so it’s a little different, but I’m definitely excited to get out there with some of the guys in a Rangers sweater, definitely.’’
Fox, a righthanded-shooting, offensive-minded defenseman, is slated to partner on defense with fellow 21-year-old Libor Hajek, a lefty shooter who plays a two-way game and who looked strong in five games with the Rangers after getting called up from AHL Hartford last season.
