Riikola averaged a TOI (time on ice) of 16.41 minutes, as he spent time filling in for the banged up Pens defense this year. While playing in 38 games, Riikola had 5 points (2 goals, 3 assists). He has been a healthy scratch since the Pens acquired Erik Gudbranson at the trade deadline from the Vancouver Canucks.
