Fox delivered four helpers in 23:59 against Toronto, lifting his team offensively despite the loss. His plus-4 rating came in a game where he did not record a shot on goal. He added one blocked shot in a game where the defensive side of his ledger took a back seat to playmaking.

His recent averages show 0.18 goals, 0.74 assists and 1.8 shots per game over a 190-game sample. He averages 0.37 power-play points per game while quarterbacking the first unit at 3:20 per night, leading all Rangers skaters in power-play time. His underlying play grades 79 out of 100 among defensemen in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a measure of how repeatable his production is. New York plays three more times this week on Thursday, Saturday and Monday.

What to do

• Keep Fox active in all formats as a top-tier fantasy defenseman who was already priced at this level before Thursday's game.

• Four-assist nights from defensemen represent outlier variance.

• Monitor his shot volume going forward, as zero shots in nearly 24 minutes is below his 1.8 per game average.
