With blueliner Adam Fox landing on LTIR last month due to an upper-body injury late last month, the Rangers find themselves without their top blueliner and a key threat offensively from the back end. While they won’t be able to add someone who can log the nearly 24 minutes per game that Fox can, finding someone who could help in the offensive zone in a more limited role could be more doable.

To that end, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman relayed on the latest 32 Thoughts podcast ( audio link ) that New York is looking to see if they can acquire someone to help quarterback the power play.
