Rangers look to Adam Fox for pivotal 2026-27 season
Summary

The New York Rangers are banking on a healthy Adam Fox for the 2026-27 season as they continue their offseason retool. After a season impacted by injuries, Fox, who played just 55 games last year, remains crucial for the Rangers' playoff ambitions. Rangers GM Chris Drury has strengthened the defense by acquiring Sean Durzi and Marcus Pettersson to support Fox and relieve some of the pressure. Fox's absence last season significantly affected the team's performance, evidenced by their 8-16-3 record without him. As the season approaches, the Rangers need both Fox and goalie Igor Shesterkin to be at their best for a successful campaign.
