  • Van Riemsdyk notched an assist in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Jets. Van Riemsdyk continues to hold down a bottom-six role. He has three points and a plus-3 rating over his last five contests, though it's a spot on the second power-play unit that gives him a path to fantasy interest in deep formats. The veteran winger is up to four points, seven shots on goal and a plus-1 rating through 10 outings this season.

  • Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs. Van Riemsdyk has scored twice over six contests this season, and he's added five shots on net and a minus-1 rating. The 35-year-old winger was listed on the fourth line but still saw 12:46 of ice time Tuesday, including a season-high 2:48 on the power play. He's yet to log a point with the man advantage, but if he gets going in that situation, he could become a depth option in fantasy.

  • Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers. Van Riemsdyk tallied with 2:39 left in the third period, but the Blue Jackets' comeback push fell short.

He's been limited, averaging just 12:19 of ice time, but he remains on the second power-play unit. In 71 regular-season contests with the Bruins last year, van Riemsdyk racked up 38 points, 12 of which came on the power play.

Van Riemsdyk collected 11 goals, 38 points and 142 shots on net in 71 regular-season outings with Boston in 2023-24. The 35-year-old forward could occupy a middle-six role and see time on the power play for the Blue Jackets during the 2024-25 campaign.
