Penguins Activate Trevor van Riemsdyk From IR
The Pittsburgh Penguins have officially activated defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk off of injured reserve. The right-defender has missed the last 14 games with a lower-body injury sustained on October 9th.
Van Riemsdyk will have plenty of time to shake off rust with Pittsburgh’s next matchup on Thursday. A return to the lineup will bring the next chance for the 35 year old to score his first point of the season – after recording no points, a minus-one, and 10 shot blocks in the first five games of the season. He played a premier role despite the quiet stat line, averaging 18:48 in ice time – his most since the 2022-23 season. The bulk of that ice time came next to Penguins legend Kris Letang.
