The Rangers have yet to give us any confirmation on a timeline for the return of defenseman Adam Fox, and center Filip Chytil.
Fox has been placed on long term injured reserved, which means he is ineligible to return to the team until November 29, against the Detroit Red Wings.
Filip Chytill has been placed on injured reserved, so he will be ineligible to return until November 12, against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Former NHL and Rangers player, Mike Rupp, offers his perspective on Sebastian Aho knee-to-knee hit on Fox during the Rangers 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
Take a listen:
That was an excellent analysis of the play as it unfolded.
Unfortunately, this was somehow missed by the refs.
At worse, should have been called an interference penalty likely Rupp says, as the puck was no where near Aho or Fox, as Aho has his attention focused on Fox.
Nevertheless, what happened, happened.
The Rangers still have all the tools needed to get through this month and maintain their lead in the division. Let's see what they are truly made of.
