Out Wednesday Van Riemsdyk (not injury related) won't dress for Wednesday's clash against Montreal, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
Impact Van Riemsdyk has returned from the personal matter that caused him to miss most of training camp, but he was still placed on the non-roster list Monday to give him more time to get up to speed before playing. Van Riemsdyk might make his season debut Saturday versus Toronto.

Goes on non-roster list Van Riemsdyk (undisclosed) was placed on the non-roster list Monday.
Impact Van Riemsdyk missed most of training camp due to a personal matter, but he joined the team for Wednesday's practice. Still, he might need some additional time to get back up to game speed. The 36-year-old forward had 16 goals and 36 points across 71 regular-season outings with Columbus in 2024-25.

Detroit Red Wings expect James van Riemsdyk at practice: What to know James van Riemsdkyk has a week to get ready for Detroit Red Wings opener
OCTOBER 1, 2025 • FREEP.COM
Joining practice Wednesday Van Riemsdyk (personal) will rejoin the team for Wednesday's practice session, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Impact Van Riemsdyk won't be in the lineup to face the Blackhawks on Tuesday but should be an option when the team clashes with the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Even if the veteran winger makes the Opening Night roster, he may have to periodically serve as a healthy scratch this season, making him a mid-range fantasy option at best.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Still missing from camp Van Riemsdyk hasn't participated in training camp yet due to a personal matter, Rob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now reported Thursday.
Impact It remains unclear how much longer van Riemsdyk will be away from the team. The Red Wings signed the veteran forward to a one-year, $1 million contract in the summer, intending to try him out on the top line. However, his absence from camp has put a hold on those plans.

Staying in Eastern Conference Van Riemsdyk signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact Van Riemsdyk had 16 goals and 36 points across 71 appearances with Columbus in 2024-25, converting at a career-high 18.8 percent rate on 85 shots on goal. That number is due to come back down, but he should provide meaningful depth for a Detroit club that is attempting to make its way back into the postseason for the first time since 2016. This coming season will be Van Riemsdyk's 17th NHL campaign.

Blue Jackets frustrated to miss the NHL playoffs for the fifth consecutive year

Three-point effort against Caps Van Riemsdyk delivered a goal and two assists in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Capitals.
Impact He helped set up two of Columbus' three first-period goals, then wrapped up the scoring himself late in the third. It was the veteran winger's first multi-point performance since Feb. 27, and after a 14-game goal drought in which van Riemsdyk managed just two assists, he's now tickled twine in back-to-back games as the Blue Jackets try desperately to catch the Canadiens for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Scores in Thursday's win Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact Van Riemsdyk was scratch for four games between late March and early April. He's since been in the lineup for four straight contests, regaining a spot in the middle six, albeit without power-play time. The winger is up to 15 goals, 31 points, 76 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-9 rating over 67 appearances this season. He's among six unrestricted free agent forwards on the roster heading into the summer, and it's unclear if the 35-year-old is in contention to be re-signed.

Jenner caps Blue Jackets' 3-2 comeback victory as Sabres' winning streak is stopped at 5

Boone Jenner scored the go-ahead goal on the power play 6:42 into the third period, helping the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Buffalo Sabres
APRIL 11, 2025 • Associated Press
Playing time slipping Van Riemsdyk was scratched for the second game in a row Saturday versus the Senators.
Impact The Blue Jackets likely wouldn't be anywhere near the playoff race if not for van Riemsdyk, who has helped provide veteran cover for injuries or slumping players. However, the team is as healthy as its been all year, and van Riemsdyk find himself crowded out of the lineup, which features 15 healthy forwards. That number will rise to 16 when the recently signed Jack Williams is ready to make his NHL debut after the undrafted forward earned a contract following a strong collegiate campaign. Van Riemsdyk is at 30 points, 71 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-7 rating across 63 appearances, but fantasy managers who were holding onto him for depth offense can cut him loose now that he's trending toward being stuck in the press box.

Blue Jackets play the Red Wings following van Riemsdyk's 2-goal showing

The Columbus Blue Jackets host the Detroit Red Wings after James van Riemsdyk's two-goal game against the Detroit Red Wings in the Blue Jackets' 5-2 win
FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • Associated Press
New line combo yields big results Van Riemsdyk had two goals in Thursday's 5-2 win over Detroit.
Impact Both goals came after Jackets' coach Dean Evason moved van Riemsdyk onto a line with Boone Jenner and Kent Johnson after Cole Sillinger left the game with an upper-body injury in the first period. The newly-formed trio combined for three of the four Columbus goals in the second period. Van Riemsdyk has four goals in his last four games, and he has really warmed up in 2025 -- he has 19 points, including 10 goals, and 32 shots in 21 games.
