New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox is going on long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Goaltender Igor Shesterkin is going on regular IR and continues to be evaluated for the injury that knocked him out of a game against Utah Monday night, the person said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the roster moves had not been announced.
Fox, who just returned in late December from missing a month because of an upper-body injury, will be sidelined at least the next 10 more games as a condition of going on LTIR. It's unclear when Fox was injured since he played all of regulation against the Mammoth but did not skate a shift in overtime.
