Players Back On Ice
With the Rangers set to return from the All Star break next Tuesday, players were back on the ice for the first formal practice since their 5-2 win over the Panthers back on February 1st. The team went into the layoff with several players under injury cloud, and today was our first chance to see who might be back for the game against Boston.
The biggest question of course, was whether Adam Fox would practice, after having missed the last three games before the All Star game, courtesy of an upper body injury suffered in the 5-3 loss to Columbus. At the time the injury was not thought to be serious, but when the Rangers put him on IR, questions arose as to whether it might have longer lasting effects than beyond the break.
