CALGARY, Alberta — The answer to the boos was in the stat sheet. Rangers rookie defenseman Adam Fox collected three assists while he was jeered almost every time he touched the puck during Thursday’s 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Fox was drafted by Calgary in the third round (No. 66 overall) in 2016, but spurned the Flames after three years at Harvard to become a free agent. They traded his rights to the Hurricanes, who then traded his rights to the Rangers, who got him to sign an entry-level deal this summer.
So with the long memories of Canadian hockey fans being heard, the 21-year-old Fox put together the first three-point contest of his 40-game NHL career.
