Rangers star defenseman opens up about struggles he faced during playoffs
Reports have surfaced that Rangers star defenseman Adam Fox had suffered an MCL strain which had diminished his role in the playoffs.
This strain was a re aggravation of an older knee injury that happened earlier in the year but had crippled fox is ability to play at a high level. Mollie Walker of the New York Post stated that it was not a tear according to her source.
During Game 4 of round one against the Washington Capitals, Fox took a knee-on-knee collision with Nick Jensen Which caused him pain and discomfort and forced to leave the game for a short period of time. He was able to return to finish the game, but he had not looked the same since.
Fox did not score any goals in the playoffs and only had eight assists through 16 games and it was clear that he was not himself as he is usually an intense competitor and able to play at a high level at all times.
At the season over fox will now have a chance to let his knee heal and be ready for next season as the Rangers prepare for changes throughout the summer and be ready for training camp in September.
