Fox, who has been on long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury, is expected to return Wednesday versus Detroit without any restrictions on his playing time, coach Peter Laviolette told Colin Stephenson of Newsday .
Fox has three goals and 11 points in 10 contests this season. He hasn't played since Nov. 2, so he might need a game or two to get back to full speed, but based on Laviolette's comments, Fox should be expected to assume his regular roles on the top pairing and first power-play unit. Zac Jones, who has played in the Rangers' last 10 games, is projected to serve as a healthy scratch Wednesday.

Rangers' Adam Fox: On LTIR
Rotowire
Fox (lower body) was placed on the long-term injured reserve list Friday, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
Fox was injured by what appeared to be a knee-on-knee collision with Sebastian Aho during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Carolina. Putting Fox on LTIR means he's ineligible to return before Nov. 29 versus Detroit. The 25-year-old defenseman has three goals and 11 points in 10 contests this year. Zac Jones will likely play regularly during Fox's absence, and Erik Gustafsson might move up to the top power-play unit.
