Simmonds (wrist) will be activated off long-term injured reserve and return to the lineup for Friday's game versus the Flames, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic Toronto reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simmonds has been sidelined since early February with a broken wrist, but he's been skating for nearly two weeks, so he shouldn't have any limitations against Calgary. The 32-year-old bruiser is expected to skate on Toronto's fourth line and top power-play unit Friday.
