Simmonds assisted on both Flyers goals in their 2-1 win over Washington on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds' first two points of the postseason were the key to Philadelphia's first victory of the series. The 32-goal scorer has failed to find the back of the net on 10 shots this series, but that's going to have to change in a hurry if the Flyers hope to extend their season any further.

Simmonds will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Among a bunch of other top forwards, Simmonds will rest for the last game of the season. It shouldn't impact his availability for the postseason as he's just a healthy, but his absence opens up a lineup spot for Scott Laughton, R.J. Umberger and Jordan Weal. Unless there is something to suggest otherwise, expect the start winger to be good to go for Game 1.

Simmonds scored two goals, including the game winner, in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds has established career-bests in goals (32), PIM (147), hits (192) and shots (229), and tied his best in points (60) this season. This kind of contribution makes him an elite fantasy contributor -- there are very few players who combine his scoring and snarl. Simmonds has one more game to increase all those tallies -- the Flyers face off against the Isles on Sunday.

Simmonds netted a goal and fired seven shots on net in 20:12 of ice time in a 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds hit a new career-high by scoring his 30th goal of the season. The net front specialist has seen a boost in his numbers this season, as he has also hit a career-high in assists with 28. The Flyers know what they have in Simmonds and he is getting rewarded with huge power play minutes. Simmonds will look to add his name to the stat sheet in the Flyers final two games as they push for a playoff spot.

Simmonds notched two power-play goals and set up another in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
He's on a three-game, five-point streak right now and has 16 points, including seven goals, in his last 17 games. Simmonds has been instrumental in the Flyers' run toward a wild card berth and now has 28 goals and 56 points on the season. Factor in his 141 PIM, 182 hits and 212 shots, and you have one of the league's best fantasy producers.

Simmonds collected an assist, two PIM, and two hits in Wednesday's shootout win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The win puts the Flyers just two points ahead of Detroit in the playoff, so Simmonds has every reason to play hard in the final six games. He's seven points away from matching his career high, and he'll look to feast on the poor defensive play of Ottawa at home on Saturday.

Simmonds collected his 26th assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
With 51 points in 73 games, Simmonds has quietly put together a strong season. He's got nine more games to eclipse his career mark of 60 points, and with the Flyers pushing hard for the playoffs, it's not out of the question.

Simmonds scored a goal and fired eight shots on goal during Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
With just seven total shots in his last four games, it was good to see the winger being active with the puck in this one. He also had two blocked shots and a hit in 21:00 of ice time. The 27-year-old has been producing at a good clip lately, putting up five points in his last five games.

Simmonds scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Dating back to Jan. 25, Simmonds has now successfully produced at a point-per-game clip with 20 points in his last 20 games. It's a shame he and the rest of the Flyers weren't able to put it together sooner in the season, as their backs are still very much up against the wall in a hunt for a playoff spot that will likely not come to fruition. Nonetheless, with the recent outburst, Simmonds is up to 24 goals and 22 assists to go with 129 PIM in 65 games this year.

Simmonds produced in a big way Monday, scoring two goals, skating to a plus-2 and firing six shots on goal. He also was assessed a minor penalty for good measure.
EDGE Analysis
Together with Claude Giroux (four assists) and Brayden Schenn's hat trick, Simmonds ran wild on the punchless Flames in this one. The bruising power forward is now up to 23 goals, 20 assists, 162 SOG, and an absolute truckload of PIM (123) through 62 games.
