Simmonds was not present at morning skate Tuesday as he's dealing with an illness, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The illness had also caused Simmonds to miss practice Monday, therefore, we don't like his chances of suiting up Tuesday night, when the Flyers play host to the Senators. Simmonds' status is likely to be clarified closer to puck drop, but fantasy owners should be looking for alternatives in case he can't give it a go. This guy isn't easy to replace, as he's third on the team with 15 points (eight goals, seven assists), including eight on the man advantage.
