Van Riemsdyk is under the weather and didn't practice ahead of Thursday's matchup with Montreal, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Van Riemsdyk is currently stuck in a 12-game goal drought during which he has managed just one helper. As such, his potential absence shouldn't 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 against the Canadiens.

Van Riemsdyk provided two assists, including one on the power play and added two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old has five points over five games in January, but they've all come in a pair of multi-point efforts.
