Simmonds took over the left wing spot for Chris VandeVelde, who was filling in for the injured Michael Raffl (lower body), Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia reports. It took Flyers' coach Craig Berube just one period to yank the leash on Chris VandeVelde and replace him with Simmonds. While the left wing is not Simmonds' natural spot -- he said he hadn't played it since he was 12 -- he did manage to assist on Jakub Voracek's goal later in the game. The move to the top line could mean a points-surge for the assistant captain, and fantasy owners should keep watch. He remains a start in all fantasy fixtures.
