Fox suffered a lower body injury when he collided with forward Sebastian Aho. The knee of the man behind hit his opponent’s leg. After the incident, the 25-year-old hockey player returned to the ice for 31 seconds, but then retreated to the locker room not to return to the game.
After the game, Rangers captain Jacob Trouba was angry with Aho. He wondered why the Canes player didn’t have to answer for his actions.
“I have to fight every time I do something. So I told myself that he [Aho] “I had to answer too, but he didn’t see things that way,” Trouba said during the press scrum that followed the clash.
“If he’s out for a while, it’s up to one of our guys to improve their level of play. He is a very good player in the league and a big part of our team,” he also said when talking about Fox.
“I have to fight every time I do something, so I think he should probably take responsibility for that too, but he didn’t feel that way.”
