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.
