Brian Elliott, the veteran goaltender who has been arguably the Flyers' best player the last few weeks, left Thursday's 3-0 loss to New Jersey after suffering an injury trying to stop Kyle Palmieri's wraparound goal with 6 minutes, 8 seconds remaining.
In addition to losing Elliott, van Riemsdyk, who missed the previous 16 games with a knee injury, was point-less and he interfered with New Jersey's goalie to erase a first-period Flyers goal at the sparsely filled Wells Fargo Center.
Kinkaid (29 saves) was also fortunate. The Flyers hit iron five times, including a post shot by Oskar Lindblom with the Devils holding a 1-0 lead midway through the third period.
