Hockey players are known for being tough, but Columbus Blue Jackets left wing James van Riemsdyk is taking things to the next level. Days after suffering a gruesome injury that knocked out four teeth and required additional surgery, van Riemsdyk will still be taking the ice for Columbus' matchup against the Dallas Stars on Sunday.
Van Riemsdyk is listed as part of the Blue Jackets' second line for Sunday. He was spotted during warmups with a cage on his helmet, which covered his mouth and chin completely.
