Cold Streak Continues for James van Riemsdyk
5 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk failed to pick up a point for the fifth straight game as the Flyers lost to the Coyotes 6-2. Normally a key piece of the power-play attack, van Riemsdyk has been working with the second power-play unit this year and has only three power-play points to show for it. He has yet to record fewer than 13 power-play points in a season where he has played at least 60 games since his second season in the league. Throw in a 0.55 points per game pace, which is well below his career average of 0.65 points per game, and you have the makings of one of the least productive seasons in van Riemsdyk's career. His hot streak from the end of December is a thing of the past, and he can be safely dropped from any squads that were hoping it was a sign of resurgence from van Riemsdyk.
