Simmonds closed the calendar out with a goal and assist in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

2017 is a year Simmonds will want to put behind him. He posted his worst plus-minus rating last season (minus-18) and hasn't been much better this season. His 23 points is well below his past four seasons of 50-plus points, and he'll be hoping that a new year means a new direction for his contributions.
