Van Riemsdyk scored twice in a 5-3 win over the Coyotes on Saturday.
He stole the puck from a Coyotes defender in the neutral zone and scored unassisted to put the Flyers up 1-0 at 1:14 of the first. Van Riemsdyk redirected a Travis Konecny shot on the power play in the second period to make the score 4-2. It stood as the winner. He has three goals in his last two games after going 11 without a sniff. Yes, the talent is there, but Van Riemsdyk is on the third line of a bad team. We may change our tune if he scores next game, though -- a sniper awakened is valuable, regardless of line assignment.
