Fox, a defenseman, had missed 13 games since he sustained a lower-body injury in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth on Jan 5. Shesterkin, a goalie, sustained a lower-body injury in the first period against Utah when he fell backwards and could not put weight on his left leg. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s a huge boost,&#8221; Rangers coach Mike Sullivan said. &#8220;The caliber of players that they are, it&#8217;s hard to replace those guys as we know. So, I think when you get two elite players back in the lineup like that I think it gives a huge boost of confidence to the whole group.&#8221; \u2026 Forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/conor-sheary-8477839\" title=\"Conor Sheary\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Conor Sheary<\/a> returned from a lower-body injury after missing 15 games. \u2026 Sullivan, assistant coach David Quinn, and forwards\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/vincent-trocheck-8476389\" title=\"Vincent Trocheck\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vincent Trocheck<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/j-t-miller-8476468\" title=\"J.T.
