COLUMBUS, Ohio \u2014 Adam Fox was activated off injured reserve ahead of the Rangers matchup with the Blue Jackets on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old defenseman had missed the previous eight games with an upper-body injury, which he presumably suffered when he fell on his shoulder after getting entangled with Kyle MacLean in the 5-1 win over the Islanders on Feb. 25.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s trending that way,\u201d head coach Peter Laviolette said when asked if Fox would play Saturday night against the Blue Jackets before the defenseman ultimately suited up for the Rangers.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny time you lose one of your top minute guys, top producers, you\u2019re going to feel it. I think other guys have stepped up, we\u2019ve done some good things. When he does come back, it\u2019ll be nice to have him there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the second-longest injury stint of Fox\u2019s six-year NHL career, after the Jericho, N.Y., native missed 10 straight games last season on long-term injured reserve with a knee injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That injury, of course, was aggravated in the playoffs and limited Fox.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fox had registered at least a point in each of his last seven games, over which he posted two goals and six assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite missing as much time as he did, Fox is still tied with Mika Zibanejad for the third-most points on the team at 48 (five goals, 43 assists).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fox took reps in his usual post at the top of the Rangers\u2019 first power-play unit, along with J.T. Miller, Chris Kreider, Artemi Panarin and Zibanejad. <\/p>\n
That bumped Zac Jones to quarterback the second group with Vincent Trocheck, Alexis Lafreni\u00e8re, Jonny Brodzinski and Will Cuylle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Fox was good to go Saturday night, Carson Soucy was slated to serve as the healthy scratch after spending extra time on the Nationwide Arena ice in the morning. <\/p>\n
He was expected to watch from the press box with fellow scratches Calvin de Haan and Juuso Parssinen.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
