He was scheduled to appear in the All-Star game this year. However, that now is uncertain after the Rangers placed him on the injured reserve list on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Fox appeared to go into the boards awkwardly on a check from Blue Jackets defenceman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/g\/gavrivl01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vladislav Gavrikov.<\/a> After the incident, he left the dressing room shortly after. Even though being initially listed as day-to-day, the injury status appears to have been upgraded.<\/p>\n<p>Fox has 47 points in 44 games and is a +12 on the season. He won the Norris Trophy last year for best defenceman after a breakout season, in which he put up 47 points in 55 games. The 23-year-old was drafted 66th overall by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/flames\/\" target=\"_self\">Calgary Flames<\/a> in 2016 but refused to sign with the team. He was a part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lindhel01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elias Lindholm<\/a> trade package going back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/hurricanes\/\" target=\"_self\">Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> in 2018. Carolina then flipped him to the Rangers in April 2019. Before signing in the NHL, Fox played for three years at the University of Harvard.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0What This Means For The Rangers<\/h3>\n<p>This is a significant blow to the Rangers, considering he&#8217;s been over a point per game this season and has been selected to participate in the All-Star game. This injury may hinder his chances to participate in the All-Star game. However, the worst part is it also may keep him out depending on how severe the injury is. By the looks of it, it doesn&#8217;t look severe, but there may be more that they do not know about Fox&#8217;s injury.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"R1ilfFxhRsZopceYtWyNUw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com.br\/detail\/1237948441\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'R1ilfFxhRsZopceYtWyNUw',sig:'vlXCQscRZH87F5qnvplmEF8a788YkJlKE1Y8ifT_w-M=',w:'594px',h:'416px',items:'1237948441',caption: true ,tld:'com.br',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Rangers announced on Friday that they have placed defenseman Adam Fox on the Injured Reserve list.
