  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Participating in informal skates

    Van Riemsdyk (upper body) was on the ice for Tuesday's informal skate, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

    Van Riemsdyk looks ready for the start of training camp after missing the Capitals' final postseason matchup with the Rangers in April. Despite logging 70 regular-season contests with Washington last year, the veteran blueliner failed to score for the first time since his rookie campaign in 2014-15 when he was with the Blackhawks. Considering van Riemsdyk has reached the 20-point threshold just once in his NHL career, he can probably be passed over in most fantasy formats.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Won't play Sunday

    Van Riemsdyk (upper body) will not play in Game 4 against the Rangers on Sunday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Van Riemsdyk took a high hit from Rangers winger Matt Rempe during the first period of Friday's 3-1 loss and was not on the ice for Saturday's skate. The 32-year-old Van Riemsdyk might be replaced in the lineup by Nick Jensen (upper body) or Rasmus Sandin (upper body) should they be cleared to return, but both remain game-time decisions.

He logged 3:27 of ice time prior to getting injured. An update on his status should be available before Game 4 on Sunday.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Good to return Saturday

    Van Riemsdyk (illness) will play Saturday versus Montreal, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

    Van Riemsdyk missed Washington's past four contests. He has eight assists, a minus-11 rating and 12 PIM in 40 games in 2023-24. Van Riemsdyk is projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Joel Edmundson.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Still sidelined Tuesday

    Van Riemsdyk (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Van Riemsdyk will be out for a fourth straight contest. The Capitals are off until Saturday's game in Montreal, so he'll have some extra time to recover if he is in fact still under the weather and not just a healthy scratch at this point.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Not playing Sunday

    Van Riemsdyk (illness) won't play Sunday against Vancouver, according to Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

    Van Riemsdyk will miss his third consecutive contest. He has supplied eight assists, 48 shots on goal and 54 blocked shots over 40 appearances this season.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Unavailable Saturday

    Van Riemsdyk (illness) will miss Saturday's game against Boston.

    Van Riemsdyk has eight assists, a minus-11 rating, 48 shots, six hits and 54 blocks in 40 contests this season. It will be his second straight absence due to the illness. Ethan Bear is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday, but he might be a healthy scratch once van Riemsdyk is ready to return.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Out due to illness

    Van Riemsdyk (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Panthers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Van Riemsdyk was initially announced to be sitting out after the morning skate, but his absence will be due to an illness rather than a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old defenseman has two helpers over his last 10 games and was scratched four times in January, so he is far from an everyday player at this point. Ethan Bear will draw into the lineup Thursday.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Dishes assist Saturday

    Van Riemsdyk posted an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

    Van Riemsdyk snapped a 10-game point drought with the secondary helper on Beck Malenstyn's first-period marker. The 32-year-old van Riemsdyk has been a steady part of the Capitals' defense this season, most often serving in a bottom-four capacity. Despite his regular role, he's been a non-factor on offense with six assists and 34 shots on net over 30 contests. He's better in his own zone, adding 45 blocked shots with a minus-6 rating on a team that's not generating many goals throughout the roster.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Bags apple Thursday

    Van Riemsdyk tallied an assist and four blocked shots during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.

    Van Riemsdyk is still searching for his first goal, but has managed five assists, 22 shots on goal and 30 blocked shots through 19 games during the 2023-24 season. The 32-year-old is a steady presence on the blue line but he has yet to establish himself as a mainstream fantasy contributor, having eclipsed the 20-point mark just once in his career.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Supplies helper in loss

    Van Riemsdyk recorded an assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

    Van Riemsdyk has picked up three helpers and a plus-2 rating over four games since returning from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for four contests. The 32-year-old blueliner was listed on the third pairing but maintained top-four minutes due to Martin Fehervary being eased back into action. Van Riemsdyk is up to four helpers, 15 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 14 outings overall.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Playing Saturday

    Van Riemsdyk (lower body) has been activated off injured reserve and will return to the lineup against Columbus on Saturday, Ethan Cadeaux of Monumental Sports Network reports.

    Van Riemsdyk will return following four games on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. Prior to his absence, the 32-year-old defender managed just one point in 10 games while averaging 17:35 of ice time. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting a ton of offensive output from the New Jersey native. With van Riemsdyk returning, either Dylan McIlrath or Hardy Haman-Aktell will likely need to be sent back to the minors.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Practices Monday

    Van Riemsdyk (lower body) was wearing a non-contact jersey during Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

    Van Riemsdyk has missed the last three games with the injury, but he appears to be making solid progress by taking part in Monday's session. The 32-year-old seems unlikely to play Tuesday against the Golden Knights, but the Capitals have a light schedule this week, so it's possible he returns for a weekend tilt against the Blue Jackets.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: On IR

    Van Riemsdyk (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve list Thursday.

    The move might be retroactive to when van Riemsdyk last played, which was Saturday versus Columbus. If that's the case, then he'd be eligible to return in time for Tuesday's contest versus Vegas. The 32-year-old has an assist and 19 blocks in 10 outings this year.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Won't travel with team

    Van Riemsdyk (lower body) won't make the trip for the Capitals' upcoming two-game road trip, which begins Friday in New Jersey, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

    Van Riemsdyk will also miss Saturday's game against the Islanders. The 32-year-old blueliner has collected just one assist through 10 contests this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his status. With van Riemsdyk on the shelf, Hardy Haman-Aktell may draw into the lineup against the Devils on Friday.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Out Wednesday

    Van Riemsdyk (lower body) will not play Wednesday against the Panthers, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

    Van Riemsdyk exited after logging just 1:34 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 victor over Columbus after getting his skate caught along the end boards. One of Hardy Haman-Aktell or Lucas Johansen will draw into the lineup while the 32-year-old van Riemsdyk will get another couple of days to heal before Washington is next in action Friday against the Devils.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Considered day-to-day

    Van Riemsdyk (lower body) remains day-to-day, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Van Riemsdyk exited after logging just 1:34 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets and did not return. The 32-year-old is still being evaluated, but head coach Spencer Carbery remains optimistic he will not be out long term. Expect Hardy Haman-Aktell or Lucas Johansson to fill the void in the interim, unless Joel Edmundson (hand) is deemed fit to return to action.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Suffers lower-body injury

    Van Riemsdyk sustained a lower-body injury and won't return to Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

    Van Riemsdyk logged just 1:34 of ice time before exiting the contest. The Capitals don't play again until Wednesday, but it's not a positive sign he was ruled out prior to the first intermission. If van Riemsdyk misses time, Lucas Johansen or Hardy Haman-Aktell could be options to enter the lineup on the third pairing.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Supplies shorthanded assist

    Van Riemsdyk emerged with a shorthanded assist in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the WIld.

    This was the first point of the season for van Riemsdyk, who is averaging a career-high 20:08 of ice time. He experienced a bit of a scare in the preseason when a puck struck his right wrist, but he seems to be fine in that regard. Van Riemsdyk posted personal bests in 2022-23 with seven goals and 23 points in 75 games.
