Mike Sullivan already has reverted to his forward thinking when it comes to the Rangers’ laggard power play — with another slight alteration, that is.

Fox, who quarterbacks New York’s top power-play unit, sustained a left-arm injury on Nov. 29 that landed him on long-term injured reserve. In his absence, coach Mike Sullivan opted to use a five-forward setup with the No. 1 power-play group, with their top scorer, left wing Artemi Panarin, running the show.

With Adam Fox out, the Rangers turned to an unconventional power-play change — one that could redefine the unit while their top defenseman recovers.

With Adam Fox out for at least a month for the New York Rangers, speculation is that the franchise is looking around the NHL market, seeing if they can fill the enormous void left by his departure via trade.

Late in Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Lightning at Madison Square Garden, star defenseman Adam Fox was taken to the locker room with an apparent injury to his left arm and did not return. Fox’s status going forward is unclear, with coach Mike Sullivan stating that the Long Island native was being evaluated for an upper-body injury.
