Simmonds potted a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Despite playing just a shade under 15 minutes, Simmonds managed to find the net on one of his two shots, deflecting Shayne Gostisbehere's rifle to find cloth. Simmonds has registered a point in three straight games, and he'll look to further that streak Thursday in Minnesota.

Simmonds collected helper number 11 on the season in a 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds is on pace for his worst offensive season in three years, but is eyeing a career-high in PIM (186). With the holiday break behind him, Simmer will look to avoid another 16-game stretch in which he tallies a mere four points (he did that in an October/November drought). He's been more consistent of late, and there's no doubt he can turn things around in the second half of the season. But he'll need his team to continue showing signs of life. He faces the Kings on Saturday afternoon, a team which blanked him earlier in the season.

Simmonds sniped his eighth and ninth goals of the season -- one of which came on the power play -- in Monday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
What a great way to head into the holiday break for Simmonds, who has amassed 19 points in 34 games this season. With a previous career high of 116 PIM, his 82 this season are actually well over-and-above his usual standard of transgression, while his 78 shots on goal aren't bad either. Look for the 27-year-old to pick up the pace offensively as the newly-appointed line of Simmonds, Jakub Voracek and Sean Couturier have been clicking of late.

Simmonds collected an assist and pounded the Canucks for four hits in Thursday's 2-0 win.
EDGE Analysis
Simmer is still just simmering this season. His ice time has dipped over the last four games as Flyers' coach Dave Hakstol continues to tinker with his lineups. While he's permanently inked in the Flyers' lineup, Simmonds will need to show more consistency on the ice to become a regular fixture in fantasy lineups.

Simmonds collected his ninth assist of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds has four points in his last five games, though he's still a few points short of his pace from last season. With the Flyers shaking off their early-season woes -- they've won six of 10 -- Simmonds could return to being the 20-goal-scorer owners expected when they drafted him.

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.

Simmonds had two goals and an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rangers. The points halt a six-game scoring drought.
EDGE Analysis
He also fired a game-high five shots on Antti Raanta. Simmonds' first goal stood as the winner and his second went into the empty net. This little outburst gets him to up to a 17-goal, 40-point pace and that's a disappointment given his 28-goal, 55-point average over his last two years. The Flyers are 3-1 over the last four games with wins over Carolina, NY Rangers and Nashville. There could be a Simmonds surge on the horizon.

Simmonds collected his first point in five games in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the season with five points in seven games, Simmonds has cooled considerably. His refrigeration has paralleled his team's, as the Flyers have dropped five straight. If the team can turn things around -- they're currently second-to-last with only 23 goals -- Simmonds is worthy of being a daily fixture in your lineup.

Simmonds added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds is starting to simmer. His four points in his last four games have brought his season total to five. He'll look to feast on the Sabres, a team that has allowed 26 goals in eight games, on Tuesday.

Simmonds scored his first goal of the season during a 5-4 comeback win in Boston on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Since joining the Flyers in 2011-12, Simmonds has averaged nearly 29 goals per 82 game season. However, it took him six games to pot his first goal this season, which prorates to an 82 game total of 13.6 goals. Even more discouraging, Simmonds has yet to score on the power play, when just last year he scored 14 power play goals, the fifth most in the league.
