Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Daily News: Philadelphia Flyers lost forward James van Riemsdyk in the first period after taking a puck near his right knee. They will re-evaluate him when he returns to Philadelphia.
“He’s a big part of our team, a big body in our lineup,” center Sean Couturier said. “He’s a guy we want to see in our lineup.”
“I’m concerned he wasn’t able to come back,” coach Dave Hakstol said. “I don’t know the extent of it.”
Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post: The Flyers claimed goaltender Calvin Pickard earlier in the week.
