James van Riemsdyk has been named the Flyers Player of the Week for a second straight week.
We might as well rename this series the JVR fan club if he continues to play at this level. He is currently sitting at fourth in the NHL scoring race with 18 points. And he’s also riding a seven-game point streak in which he’s tallied 12 points (3 goals and 9 assists).
However, despite JVR’s success, the Flyers didn’t play all that well this week, going 1-1-1.
