Report: Fox expected to miss 2-4 weeks after hit from Aho

New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox is expected to miss two-to-four weeks after taking a knee-on-knee hit from Sebastian Aho during Thursday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes, sources told The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

The Rangers placed the star rearguard on long-term injured reserve, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Fox was injured in the first period of the 2-1 victory. He attempted to stay in the game but went to the dressing room toward the end of the opening frame.
