The coach said he wouldn't hesitate to make a lineup change and it appears as though James van Riemsdyk, recovering from a broken left foot, may be ready.
JVR said after the game that he’d find out Friday how long he’ll be out, but early speculation was 4-to-6 weeks. Earlier this season, Flyers rookie Brayden Schenn was sidelined almost a month with a broken foot.
Van Riemsdyk could miss the rest of the regular season due to his broken foot. The power forward has been limited to only 43 games this season due to various injuries.
Van Riemsdyk will start tonight's game on the third line. Sidelined since January 12th with a concussion, the power forward has 11 goals and 22 points on the season.
A source tells me James van Riemsdyk will play today.
Van Riemsdyk is an option for today's tilt. Sidelined since January 12th with a concussion, the power forward has 11 goals and 22 points on the season.
