Adam Fox scored a goal and finished with two points in his return after a month-long injury absence, but it wasn’t enough of a spark for the New York Rangers, who closed out calendar year 2025 with a 6-3 loss to the Washington Capitals in a New Year’s Eve matinee at Capital One Arena.
The Rangers (19-18-5) never had the lead in this one, their third straight loss (0-2-1) and fourth in the past five games (1-3-1). Jonathan Quick made his 10th start for New York and allowed more than three goals for the first time this season.
