Rangers near a major boost with Adam Fox at ‘full capacity’ and return in sight
NY Post
The sight was a welcome one for the Rangers, with Adam Fox out of a red noncontact jersey and manning the point on the first power-play unit for the first time since late November.
There even was one 10-second sequence during Sunday’s practice in which the 5-on-4 setup scored twice on goalie Igor Shesterkin.
Fox is eligible to return from long-term injured reserve at any time and is considered day-to-day, although Rangers coach Mike Sullivan stopped short of pronouncing the offensive defenseman ready to rejoin the lineup Monday night in Carolina.
“Great. It’s great. It obviously suggests he’s that much closer,” Sullivan said in Tarrytown about Fox’s return to practice without limitations. “He was [at] full capacity today. We worked him on the power play. He took full contact and we’ll see how he responds, and make decisions.”
Asked about Monday’s game against the Hurricanes, Sullivan added, “I would consider him day-to-day at this point.”
When told that’s “not a no,” Sullivan smiled and repeated, “I would consider him day-to-day at this point.”
