Adam Fox returns to New York Rangers lineup

Adam Fox has been activated off injured reserve and will return to the New York Rangers lineup against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He missed eight games due to an upper-body injury sustained on February 25. Fox's absence was notable, as he is one of the team's top defensemen. He had previously registered points in seven consecutive games before his injury. Despite the time missed, he remains tied for third on the team in points. In his return, Fox will resume his role on the first power-play unit. Zac Jones will move to the second unit, while Carson Soucy and other players will be healthy scratches for the game.
