The Story in 60 Seconds

Adam Fox recorded two assists in a 3-2 comeback victory over Philadelphia, reaching 21 points in his first 17 games of the season. The feat makes Fox the fastest New York Rangers defenseman to reach the 20-point mark since franchise icon Brian Leetch accomplished it in 15 games during the 2000-01 campaign.

Justin Bonhard of Blue Line Station notes that Fox is currently on pace for a 104-point season, which would easily surpass his career high of 74 points. While Leetch still maintains a substantial career edge with 1,028 total points and a 1994 Stanley Cup championship, the author argues Fox's dominant trajectory places him firmly alongside franchise greats.
