Coming off one of their most dispiriting losses of the season, the New York Rangers reportedly received more bad news Sunday. Per multiple reports, the Rangers plan to place Adam Fox on LTIR with a left-shoulder injury.
Fox sustained the injury in the third period of New York’s non-competitive 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. The 27-year-old defenseman was on the receiving end of a clean shoulder-to-shoulder check by Lightning forward Brandon Hagel, with his left arm and shoulder crushed into the boards.
Fox headed straight to the dressing room and didn’t return.
