Van Riemsdyk to miss 5-6 weeks with lower-body injury
by Sean O'Leary from on (#40CR5)
The Philadelphia Flyers will be without marquee free-agent signing James van Riemsdyk for five-to-six weeks after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday's loss to the Colorado Avalanche, general manager Ron Hextall announced.
Van Riemsdyk took a puck off the leg in the first period and was unable to return.
After posting a career-high 36 goals with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, the Flyers inked van Riemsdyk to a five-year, $35-million contract on July 1.
