Adam Fox is catching fire for the New York Rangers.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox is starting to turn things around after a slower offensive start to his season.
After scoring just three goals through 27 games this season, missing a month due to a lower-body injury, Fox snapped a personal 19-game goal drought last Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
The injury was Fox's first long-term injury of his career, so working his way back from that was anything but easy:
While the Rangers try to navigate a tough stretch, Fox's offense has come alive, scoring his second goal in three games when he scored in a 5-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues.
The scoring continued Saturday against the Metropolitan Division rival Washington Capitals.

Fox is doing what he can to help the Rangers snap their three-game losing streak, with four goals over his last four games.

Adam Fox has 7 goals and 21 assists for 26 points; he is a +86 in his career and won the Norris Trophy in 2021.
This story will be updated after the game.
