Rangers’ Adam Fox still trying to get ‘feeling back’ after injury layoff
This has been a different type of stretch in a different kind of season for Adam Fox.
He missed his first extended run of games (10) due to a lower-body injury and was introduced to life on long-term injured reserve.
And despite recording seven assists in seven games since his return, Fox has tried to simplify everything.
His normal expectations for offensive contributions might not align with the reality of instincts that need to get their feeling back.
Any time you take some time off, youre stepping onto a moving train, Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette said Wednesday. Some nights, the train moves faster than other nights. On the quick nights, it really gets going. I do see him getting better and more confident, even as the game went on Tuesday.
In a way, Fox said, its almost like the start of a season. He missed less than a month. There were only 10 games withou one of the Blueshirts primary defensemen on the top pairing and the top power-play unit.
Still, it would take time to re-acclimate.

Hell play defense first. Hell let the forwards handle the offense, though the seven assists brought his point total to 18 in 17 games.
And thats a different approach for the 2021 Norris Trophy winner, who has compiled 74 and 72 points across the past two seasons.
He doesnt want to mess up any rhythm. Instead, hell gradually let the different reads when to jump in offensively, when to stay back materialize naturally.
You dont want to be an idiot out there at first when you come back, Fox said Tuesday night, and be jumping in and thats not the right time.

When asked if he knew when Miller, who didnt play against the Maple Leafs, would return, Laviolette said hes gonna leave that alone as a personal situation.
With Kreider and Wheeler both off, Zibanejad rotated onto the Panarin-Vincent Trocheck-Alexis Lafreniere line at practice.
Filip Chytil, on long-term injured reserve with an upper-body injury sustained Nov. 2, has continued skating on his own, Laviolette said.
Kaapo Kakko (lower-body) hasnt started skating since exiting the Blueshirts game Nov. 27 and getting placed on LTIR. Laviolette didnt have an updated timetable for either of their returns.
Nothing thats really changed in the last couple days, Laviolette said. Theyre working. Theyre training in different ways, but both improving and getting better.
