Van Riemsdyk notched two assists, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.
Van Riemsdyk helped out on goals by Andrew Mangiapane and Dylan Strome in the second period. These were van Riemsdyk's first points of the season to go with 10 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. He's held down a spot on the third pairing early in the year while Matt Roy (lower body) hasn't played since the Capitals' season opener. Once Roy returns, van Riemsdyk will compete with Dylan McIlrath for playing time.
