Van Riemsdyk (illness) will miss Saturday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Van Riemsdyk has eight assists, a minus-11 rating, 48 shots, six hits and 54 blocks in 40 contests this season. It will be his second straight absence due to the illness. Ethan Bear is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday, but he might be a healthy scratch once van Riemsdyk is ready to return.
