Good teams find a way to still win when faced with adversity like this. Let's see what they are made of.

At least he gets a great rest before the stretch drive and playoffs.

 

[LokiDog]

Honestly, best time for it to happen. Only 3 games remaining before the AS break.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Sucks but he should miss just the games before the hiatus. Plus if it means Jones gets into the lineup it takes a bit of the sting off

Fox was getting bodied more and more in recent games. His elusiveness and ability to escape hits waned a bit. He also didn't shoot the puck a whole lot, though he's not a heavy shot to begin with, so it's less of a reason for an injury he might've been harboring. Some here commented that he hasn't looked himself. Last night's contact might've been the hit that pushed some lingering things over the line.

Henrik is ready for tonight. He’s also wearing a Frolunda pin that a team representative gave him this morning,

Would just like to argue that perhaps just one more game into the future would have been the true perfect time for it to happen

While it's a bummer, I'm glad it's obviously something not at all serious. Bummer he's out, but he looked banged up anyhow. This will be good for him.

tbh you saw it coming... not the best build for it and it's the first time encountering this much hockey. He's playing A LOT. With limited time off.

I still dont understand how the players union is OK with this scheduling

This'll be our excuse if he misses the Norris this season.

Never a good thing to lose your best player, but this will allow the team to let Trouba do what he was initially brought here to do for a few weeks, while we give a little more responsibility to the kids.

Hopefully he's fully healthy and rested after the break.

Funny enough, I want more Schneider, not Trouba

Ultimately, why I also expect Jones to be dressed.

I think Schneider will get the biggest minutes boost in aggregate. Trouba's assignments will be tougher, and he'll have a bit more PP time.

Question will be whether Hajek or Schneider see more PK time. Could see Gallant going Miller-Trouba Lindgren-Hajek on the PK

Yup, timing is a silver lining.

2 and a half weeks off until his next game.

Sucks for him he won't be able to go to All Star weekend though.

Is his name in honour of both Hank and Jordan Tootoo?

 

[Levitate]

I feel like guys have been throwing some iffy hits on him lately. Lots of "trips" taking his legs out, late hits,e tc

He is not all that quick, fast or strong. Fox has gotten by with feints and really excellent positioning, but opposing teams have been laying the body on him, even at the risk him making a play. He has been laboring for awhile now. As long as the injury is not serious, this could be a blessing in disguise.

Gallant had hinted just recently that one of the D was nursing an injury. This explains his poor play (for him) last game prior to leaving.

I agree. He needs a maintenance break.

Totally...

 

[Crease]

My hope is that he is on IR because of the schedule, and not because of the severity of the injury.
