JAMES VAN RIEMSDYK NEWS

Dealing with illness Van Riemsdyk is under the weather and didn't practice ahead of Thursday's matchup with Montreal, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Impact Van Riemsdyk is currently stuck in a 12-game goal drought during which he has managed a lone helper. As such, his potential absence may not have a significant impact on the majority of fantasy players. If the veteran winger does miss out Thursday, John Beecher should slot into a bottom-six role.
