Simmonds scored his sixth goal of the year and added an empty-net assist Tuesday in a win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

That's five points (three goals, two assists) to go with a plus-5 rating in the last two games for Simmonds on the heels of a two-week skid without a point. The tough winger is still short of his typical scoring pace, but that won't be the case for long if he can stay hot. That said, we're still waiting for Simmonds -- usually a stud on the man advantage -- to get things going on the power play. He has just one goal and three points with the extra man, with his last power-play point having come back on Nov. 12.
