ST. LOUIS – Because the Rangers practiced on Wednesday, Thursday’s morning skate before their game later against the St. Louis Blues was optional.
Adam Fox decided to skate, which was a bit of a surprise, because the team’s veterans and the players who log heavy minutes more often than not choose to skip optional morning skates. But Fox, who leads the Rangers in ice time, felt like taking a few spins around the rink.
"Sometimes you just feel like hopping out and touching the puck a little,’’ he said.
