On Sunday, the NHL revealed the New York Rangers’ quarter-century team. The first team features many stars from the team’s recent history. Forwards Chris Kreider, Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad – all on the active roster – are in front of defensemen Adam Fox and Ryan McDonagh and Hall of Fame goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.

Fox is riding a three-game, multi-point streak (one goal, five assists), and he sits sixth in scoring from the blue line with 40 points, including 37 assists, in 48 games this season. Fox has been a big part of the Rangers recent resurgence -- they've now picked up at least a point in 10 games.

Fox registered two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Senators. This was Fox's second two-helper game in a row, and one of them came on the power play in this contest.
