Philadelphia Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk suffered a broken hand after blocking a shot during Wednesday night's game against the Washington Capitals, head coach Alain Vigneault said postgame, according to NBC's John Clark.

No timetable has been given for van Riemsdyk's return. Joel Farabee, the Flyers' 2018 first-round pick, will be recalled from the AHL in a corresponding move. The rookie has produced 20 points in 49 games with the big club this season.

JVR struggled to start the campaign, scoring just four times in his first 24 games. The 30-year-old has come on of late, however, recording 15 goals and 31 points in his last 41 contests.
