BREAKING JVR Out Long Term With Injury.

"Philadelphia Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk left Saturday's game after taking a shot off his right knee. The Flyers and general manager Ron Hextall were supposed to update on issue on the injury on Sunday however decided to stay silent. Well it looks like they wanted to have a second opinion as the news is bad news and JVR will be out for awhile. On Monday the Flyers confirmed that JVR will be out 5-6 weeks. A tough start for JVR in his return to Philly. More details to come.

INJURY UPDATE: James van Riemsdyk will be out approximately 5-6 weeks with a lower-body injury. https://t.co/RZBDTeIcp8
