Van Riemsdyk won't play again during the regular season but could return if the Flyers have a deep playoff run.
Per Ducks, signed G John Gibson to a three-yr entry level contract.
Gibson gives the Ducks added depth between the pipes. Drafted out of the USHL last year, he should be eligible to play in the AHL.
Hamonic back. #Isles give up a PPG for 9th time in last 13 games; Rolston gets assist on Lucic's goal, 1-0 Bruins.
Hamonic is able to grit through the pain.

INJURY UPDATE: Holmgren on JVR: "James will have surgery on Mar. 6 to repair a broken bone in his left foot. He will be out 4-6 weeks."
With only a month left in the regular season, JVR is likely lost for the rest of fantasy hockey. Drop the power forward in all single-season leagues.
JVR said after the game that he’d find out Friday how long he’ll be out, but early speculation was 4-to-6 weeks. Earlier this season, Flyers rookie Brayden Schenn was sidelined almost a month with a broken foot.
Van Riemsdyk could miss the rest of the regular season due to his broken foot. The power forward has been limited to only 43 games this season due to various injuries.
