Bruins' James van Riemsdyk: Returning to action Saturday

Van Riemsdyk (illness) will be back in action in Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

Van Riemsdyk sat out three of the Bruins' last four games with an illness. He has been in a slump since Feb. 17, picking up one assist in 13 appearances. Van Riemsdyk should see bottom-six minutes and time on the second power-play combination in Saturday's contest. He will replace John Beecher (illness) in the lineup.
