"It was building up and now it's official. James van Riemsdyk will return to the Philadelphia Flyers lineup tonight after missing 16 games.The forward started to skate with the team last week and popped up on the team's power play drills this week. JVR registered one assist in the two games he played at the starting of the year and will likely join Jordan Weal and Wayne Simmonds on the teams third line. It'll give the Flyers a huge boost, especially on the power play as they sit near the bottom of the league in regards to the extra man advantage.
