James van Riemsdyk Available for Red Wings Debut Monday

Detroit Red Wings left wing James van Riemsdyk has been activated from the non-roster list and is available to make his debut for the team on Monday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. The veteran forward missed a significant portion of training camp for personal reasons and hasn't played in the first two games of the season. He's expected to join the Red Wings lineup as a fourth-liner. As a 16-year veteran, van Riemsdyk likely doesn't have much gas left in the tank. However, van Riemsdyk has scored a combined 74 points (27 goals, 47 assists) over the past two seasons, showing he can still make an impact.

James van Riemsdyk Won't Play on Thursday

Detroit Red Wings left wing James van Riemsdyk will miss Thursday's season opener against the Montreal Canadiens, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. The veteran missed most of training camp due to a personal matter and was placed on the non-roster list on Monday. According to Khan, van Riemsdyk might be ready for Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Once he's available, van Riemsdyk will likely take on a bottom-six role in Detroit and could be a healthy scratch at times, as several younger players are aiming to step up with the Red Wings.

James van Riemsdyk to Rejoin Team Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings left wing James van Riemsdyk (personal) is expected to rejoin the team on Wednesday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. The veteran forward has missed the first couple of weeks of training camp to attend to a personal matter. Detroit has two preseason games left on the schedule, and it remains to be seen whether van Riemsdyk can get some action in before the regular season begins. Van Riemsdyk is projected to open the campaign on Detroit's third line. He's been hovering around the 30-40 point range in recent years and could reach that again in 2025-26 if he sees regular action.

James van Riemsdyk Rejoins Blue Jackets Lineup Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing James van Riemsdyk will return to the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The veteran forward has been a healthy scratch for four games. Luke Kunin is expected to depart the lineup on Saturday. Van Riemsdyk, who was a 30-goal scorer with the Maple Leafs in 2014 and 2018, has lost most of his fantasy value, but he has been a solid contributor for the Blue Jackets in 2024-25. The 35-year-old has tallied 14 goals and 30 points in 63 outings. On Saturday, van Riemsdyk will try to end a seven-game pointless streak.

James van Riemsdyk Sits As Healthy Scratch On Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing James van Riemsdyk will be a healthy scratch on Saturday versus Los Angeles. The veteran has struggled to make a mark and was also a healthy scratch for one game earlier in the month. He has collected four points (two goals, two assists) in 11 appearances. Zach Aston-Reese will replace van Riemsdyk on the fourth line. The 30-year-old has matched van Riemsdyk's offensive numbers this season, but Aston-Reese plays a more physical game and has produced a higher number of shots on goal.

James van Riemsdyk To Make Series Debut Wednesday

Boston Bruins winger James van Riemsdyk will make his series debut in Wednesday's Game 3 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The veteran was a healthy scratch for the first two games of the series but will replace forward Jakub Lauko to likely skate on the team's fourth line. The 34-year-old tallied 11 goals and 38 points on 142 shots on goal across 71 games this season, his 15th in the NHL. Defensemen Mason Lohrei and Parker Wotherspoon will also join the lineup while defenseman Matt Grzelcyk comes out. Fellow defender Andrew Peeke is listed as week to week with a finger injury suffered in Game 2 on Monday.

The 34-year-old is in his first season with the Bruins and has tallied 11 goals and 38 points across 64 games, adding 135 shots, 12 power-play points, and a plus-10 rating as part of his 13:40 of average ice time per game. The Bruins enter Saturday's contest with the Flyers sitting atop the NHL standings with a 41-15-15 record, one point ahead of the New York Rangers in the Presidents' Trophy race.

James van Riemsdyk Won't Play On Saturday

The veteran just had one of his best games of the season against Columbus with a three-point effort, but he will come out of the lineup for the second time in four games. He's posted 25 points (seven goals, 18 assists) overall across 35 appearances. Matthew Poitras, who has returned from the World Junior Championship, is projected to replace van Riemsdyk in the lineup and center the third line on Saturday.

James van Riemsdyk Penciled In For A Top-Six Role

Boston Bruins left wing James van Riemsdyk is set to start life in Beantown as a member of the top six. Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery has told Steve Conroy of The Boston Herald that he expects to pair Pavel Zacha with David Pastrnak, and van Riemsdyk will likely join the two at the start of the season. With retired duo Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci not available anymore, the other scoring line is set to feature Charlie Coyle with Brad Marchand and Jake DeBrusk. Van Riemsdyk had a very quiet year in 2022-23 with only 12 goals and 29 points in 61 games, but he will be nicely placed for a bounce-back season if he sticks with Zacha and Pastrnak.

James van Riemsdyk Back In Action Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers winger James van Riemsdyk (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers. The veteran was unavailable at the weekend against New Jersey but is good to go again after overcoming an undisclosed ailment. It's been a tough campaign for the 33-year-old, with van Riemsdyk tallying only nine goals and 23 points in 40 games across the season. He had only two points in nine February appearances and will certainly hope to do better this month. Fantasy managers can expect to see van Riemsdyk in the bottom six and on the second power-play unit Wednesday.

James van Riemsdyk Comes Out Of Flyers Lineup

Philadelphia Flyers winger James van Riemsdyk (undisclosed) won't play on Saturday against New Jersey, According to Flyers head coach John Tortorella, the veteran winger is a bit banged up. Hopefully sitting out one night will help van Riemsdyk to rediscover some scoring form, as he has added only four points to his tally across his past 15 appearances. For the season overall, van Riemsdyk is on nine goals and 23 points through 40 games. The Flyers also have Travis Konecny (upper body) unavailable, so Tortorella is forced to use a number of fresh faces in the top six.

James van Riemsdyk Records Four Points Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers winger James van Riemsdyk scored once and had three assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Arizona. He formed a great one-two punch with Morgan Frost, who also finished with four points. The veteran winger set Frost up for his fourth goal of the season 2:09 into the second frame and Frost then returned the favor just a couple of minutes later. Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett also benefited from the work of van Riemsdyk and Frost. Van Riemsdyk is fresh back from a 20-game absence and these were his first points in three games since returning. He's now on three goals and six assists for the season with nine games played.

James van Riemsdyk Returns To Flyers Lineup

Philadelphia Flyers winger James van Riemsdyk (finger) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will be back in the lineup Wednesday against Washington. The 33-year-old underwent surgery back in October to fix a broken index finger and is finally ready to contribute again. Van Riemsdyk got injured after he had opened the campaign in very good form, posting two goals and three assists during a four-game point streak. Philadelphia doesn't have a lot of quality in attack, and van Riemsdyk should provide a nice boost for the team's offense as a top-six forward and a power-play threat.

James Van Riemsdyk Needs Surgery To Repair A Broken Finger

Philadelphia Flyers winger James van Riemsdyk is set to go under the knife later this week to repair a broken finger. He is expected to miss around a month of action. The veteran goal-scorer was injured Sunday against San Jose, after having enjoyed a very strong start to the season with two goals and three assists across five games. Three of his point came on the power play. With van Riemsdyk out of commission, there will be a lot of power-play time available for others, as the 33-year-old has averaged 3:09 of ice time with the man advantage this season.

James van Riemsdyk Scores Twice In Win Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers left-winger James van Riemsdyk netted two goals on Wednesday night against the Seattle Kraken. The first goal opened the scoring just 4:44 into the game on the power play. The second was a clutch game-tying goal just seconds after Jeremy Lauzon made the game 2-1 for Seattle. It has been a nice run for the forward who now has points in five of his last six games. James van Riemsdyk has seven points and five goals during this run. That brings him up to seven goals and six assists in 30 appearances. It has not been a great season but the winger is starting to make up for lost time.

James van Riemsdyk Scores On Power Play Friday

Philadelphia Flyers left-winger James van Riemsdyk converted on a feed from Travis Konecny to score a goal on Friday night. The goal proved to be the game winner in the Flyers' 4-3 triumph over the Vegas Golden Knights. It has been a brutal season for the New Jersey native. The goal snapped an 11 game point drought that eroded his confidence. He now has three goals and seven points in 25 games this season. He is a long way off from his 43 point pace in 56 games last season. Considering his shooting percentage is still half of his normal percentage (5.8%), maybe the winger's fantasy upside starts to come to fruition.

The 31-year-old is on 42 points with one more game left to play. The Flyers complete their season on Monday by hosting New Jersey, against whom van Riemsdyk has averaged a point per game in seven outings in 2020-21.

James van Riemsdyk, Flyers Set To Start Firing Again

Philadelphia Flyers left wing James van Riemsdyk has hit a wall in recent weeks, but he'll be in a perfect spot to regain his scoring form at the start of next week. The Flyers start the action with a pair of games against Buffalo on Monday and Wednesday. The Sabres will enter the week on a 17-game losing run during which they have allowed 4.18 goals per game. The Flyers themselves haven't done too great lately either, but with the likes of van Riemsdyk, Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux, they are full of scoring talent. Other forwards, such as Kevin Hayes and Jakub Voracek, who both are rostered by fewer than 50 percent of managers in Yahoo! leagues, are also nicely placed to put some points on the board early next week.
