Van Riemsdyk was exposed to Seattle for Wednesday's Expansion Draft.
EDGE Analysis
JVR had a bit of a bounce-back campaign last season, turning in 43 points in 56 games while averaging his second-most ice time since 2015-16. The 32-year-old has two seasons left on his current deal, but van Riemsdyk's $7 million cap hit could be a deterrent to the Kraken.

Van Riemsdyk scored two power-play goals on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Van Riemsdyk knotted the score at a goal apiece in the second period with an unconventional tally, as a point shot was deflected on the way in and hit him square in the face before bouncing over the goal line. He went to the locker room for some repairs after that but emerged with a face shield in the third and proved he was fine by scoring on a more traditional deflection in front. JVR's up to 16 goals in 46 games this season, with nine coming on the power play. The puck to the face is unlikely to lead to any missed game action, though it could be wise to keep an eye out for any updates before Friday's rematch at Madison Square Garden.

EDGE Analysis
Van Riemsdyk deposited a backdoor tap-in 4:05 into the second period to give the Flyers a 3-1 lead. It was van Riemsdyk's team-leading ninth goal of the season and tied him for the NHL lead in power-play tallies.

Van Riemsdyk scored a power-play goal and added two assists in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
While van Riemsdyk was solid in the game, the Flyers as a team weren't able to keep up with the Bruins. In 15 games this year, van Riemsdyk has eight goals, 21 points, 33 shots on net and a plus-5 rating. He's already over halfway to his 40-point output from 66 appearances last season. Shooting 24.2 percent so far has helped the 31-year-old in a bounce-back campaign, but he shouldn't be expected to maintain this pace all season.
