Van Riemsdyk recorded a goal, five shots and two hits in Monday's 4-3 loss to New Jersey.
Scouting Report
Is a big, strong forward who makes his living by getting to the front of the net. Has excellent hands, a long reach and a quick, accurate shot that is especially dangerous on the power play. He is a much better passer than he is given credit for but is not known for his defensive play, so he has to contribute offensively to make up for other aspects of his game that are not as good.
Long Range Potential: Big scoring winger in decline.
