van Riemsdyk missed the Flyers' previous game due to an undisclosed injury but will return to the lineup Wednesday as they take on the New York Rangers. The 33-year-old has nine goals, 14 assists, 81 SOG, and 18 PIMs through 40 games played this season.
Kane has had a down year in 2023, scoring 16 goals with 29 assists (45 points) in 54 games while with the 30th-placed Blackhawks. Moving to New York, he'll be surrounded by a ton of talent, including his former linemate Artemi Panarin. Kane will not make his Rangers debut Wednesday in Philadelphia but is expected to play Thursday vs. the Senators at Madison Square Garden.
Appleton has two goals, seven assists, 32 SOG, six PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 22 games played and will not play Tuesday vs. Los Angeles. He is day-to-day for the time being while dealing with a minor injury.
Talbot allowed three goals on 29 shots (.897 SV%) for his third loss in five games as he was beaten by the Carolina Hurricanes in his last start. The 35-year-old has had an injury-filled first year in Ottawa, which has led to his 12-14-1 record, 2.90 GAA and .905 SV%. He will face the red-hot Detroit Red Wings, who have won 8 of their last 10 contests after dropping their last game 3-0 to Tampa Bay.
Raymond last played on February 9th due to a lower-body injury and was activated from the injured reserve Monday. The 20-year-old has 15 goals, 18 assists, 87 SOG, 22 PIMs and a -10 plus/minus through 50 games prior to the injury.

The 35-year-old's first season in Ottawa has not gone as planned, as shown by his 12-13-1 record, 2.90 GAA and .905 SV%.

Berggren has 11 goals, 10 assists, 60 SOG, 14 PIMs and is a -2 plus/minus through 43 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Thursday as Detroit takes on New York. Filip Zadina will be replacing him in the Red Wings' lineup.
