Van Riemsdyk of Flyers breaks hand in win against Capitals
WASHINGTON -- James van Riemsdyk broke his right hand blocking a shot in the Philadelphia Flyers' 5-2 win against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on Wednesday.
Flyers coach Alain Vigneault said he didn't know yet how long van Riemsdyk, a forward, will be out.
Van Riemsdyk was struck in the hand by a shot from Capitals defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler with 9:17 remaining in the first period. After being examined on the bench, van Riemsdyk exited the game.
"There are different breaks," Vigneault said. "But he took that shot right on the tip (of his hand), so I'll find out tomorrow for how long."
Van Riemsdyk has 40 points (19 goals, 21 assists) in 66 games this season.
Vigneault said forward Joel Farabee will be recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League before the Flyers play the Carolina Hurricanes at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, NBCSP, NHL.TV).
