Simmonds scored a pair of goals on the man advantage in the Flyers' 4-2 victory over the Predators on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
The Flyers top scorer has been very consistent as a fantasy producer over the years. Dating back to 2011-12, he has scored at a rate of at least 0.33 goals per game each year, and last season, he set a career high with 32 goals and 60 points. He's well on his way to that mark again with 13 goals and 24 points in just 27 games. Simmonds also already has seven goals and 12 points on the man advantage; his previous career-highs are 15 goals and 22 points on the power play.

Simmonds scored a goal and added a helper in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds' 11th tally of the season held up as the game-winner. He's been an absolute beast in 23 games so far, piling up 21 points with 58 shots on goal, which sets him up well to challenge his career-high 32-goal, 60-point output from last year.

Simmonds scored the game's first goal and dished a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
His 10th goal of the year was an impressive one, as Simmonds stole the puck off a faceoff in his own zone, zipped down to the other end, and beat Roberto Luongo with a lightning-quick snap shot. The helper, meanwhile, was his ninth power-play point among 18 total points this season. Indeed, Simmonds is producing with the man advantage as usual, but his physical play is down a tick this year -- he has only 17 PIM and 39 hits in 20 games, well short of last season's rates on both counts.

Simmonds (illness) will play Tuesday night against the visiting Senators, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds is good to go for the upcoming contest, despite missing practice Monday. The physical winger has been dynamic this season, especially at the home rink, as he's collected four goals and five assists in eight games at Wells Fargo Center.

Updating an earlier report, Simmonds (illness) was able to participate in morning skate Tuesday, ahead of a home game against the Senators, Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds was back out on the ice after missing practice Monday due to an illness. This bodes well for his chances of lacing up against the Senators in the evening's contest, but to avoid a potential goose egg, those with stock in the power forward will want to see him take warm-ups before activating him.

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.

Simmonds was dynamic on special teams in Friday night's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs, picking up both a power-play and shorthanded goal in 17:23 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds thrives on the man advantage, as he used this game to pick up his fifth power-play tally on the young season. His first career shorty, which took place in the second frame after the Flyers forced a turnover in the neutral zone, was simply the icing on the cake. What draws fantasy owners to Simmonds is his penchant for mixing in points with penalty minutes -- he collected 147 PIM last season -- but he's since calmed down in that area, having spent only 17 minutes in the box through 15 games.

Simmonds registered a pair of assists in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes, giving him 11 points in 10 games to start the season.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds has been incredibly consistent thus far, having been held off the scoresheet just twice in 10 games. That kind of production is part of what makes him such a sought-after fantasy commodity. Enjoy what is shaping up to be a stellar season for the 28-year-old winger.

Simmonds potted a power-play goal on his only shot Thursday against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds' third goal in four games ultimately wasn't enough as the Flyers fell 3-2. He and fellow goalscorer Matt Read have now combined for seven goals while the rest of the team has six.

Simmonds notched a power-play goal, adding an assist, two PIM and four hits during Tuesday's 4-0 preseason win against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds already looks in regular season form, even without a few studs in the lineup. The 28-year-old had a career year in 2015-16, finding twine 32 times and adding 28 assists, 147 PIM and 229 shots on goal. The winger has been a consistent offensive threat for five years with the Flyers, but struggles in the plus/minus department. The 2007 second-round pick has only reached positive for the year once (2009-10 with the Kings), which is one of the few knocks against the power-play weapon.
