Red Wings' James van Riemsdyk: Warming trend continues

Van Riemsdyk had a goal and an assist Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.

He opened the scoring with a shot that he flipped over Casey DeSmith's shoulder from the edge of the crease. Van Riemsdyk has started to warm up a bit in the last month. He has eight goals and one assist in 14 games after putting up just one of each in his first 17 outings. Yes, he's slow and long in the tooth, but JVR's mitts are as silky as they have ever been. He may offer you match-up value in dailies.
