Simmonds is mired in a 10-game scoring drought.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds is no longer an offensive force, but he does play with grit. He has 26 hits in those 10 games while playing just 7-10 minutes a game. Simonds isn't on many fantasy rosters, so he's likely available should you need those hits

Simmonds (personal) will be available for Saturday's game versus the Canucks, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds missed Thursday's game for the birth of his child. Koshan reports Simmonds won't make it to Vancouver in time for Friday's practice, but the winger will be ready to play Saturday. His return to the lineup could be just in time after Ondrej Kase (upper body) was knocked out of Thursday's contest.

Simmonds (personal) is not expected to participate in Thursday's road game versus Calgary, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds has averaged 8:48 of ice time and distributed two assists over the last 10 games. Thursday will be his second absence of the season. The 33-year-old will set his sights on returning for Saturday's road tilt against Vancouver.

Simmonds (personal) will not travel to Calgary on Wednesday for Thursday's game against the Flames, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's a chance Simmonds could still join the team and suit up Thursday in Calgary, but it's unclear at this point if that'll happen. As such, consider the veteran power forward, who has just one assist in his last nine games, day-to-day for now.

Simmonds recorded an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds set up Ilya Mihkeyev's second-period tally. With assists in consecutive games, Simmonds is starting to chip in more regularly on offense. The 33-year-old is still seeing limited playing time -- he's played fewer than nine minutes in each of the last three contests. The winger's at 12 points, 51 hits, 50 shots on net, 40 PIM and a plus-1 rating in 33 contests. Given his bottom-six role, he's a risky option at best in most fantasy formats.

Simmonds exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds has recorded three goals and three assists through his last 10 appearances prior to entering protocols. With three Leafs' right-wingers missing time already, he will be a welcome sight on the ice and could see an expanded role.

Simmonds scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds' tally at 8:47 of the second period stood as the game-winner. The winger is up to four goals, six assists, 48 shots on net, 44 hits and 40 PIM through 29 contests, surpassing his nine-point output from 38 outings last season. Even with the uptick in production, Simmonds plays in a bottom-six role and shouldn't be relied on for steady offense.

Simmonds scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds added insurance after William Nylander scored an empty-net goal late in the third period. The 33-year-old Simmonds is on a modest three-game point streak with two goals and two helpers in that span. He's up to eight points, 40 shots, 34 hits and 15 PIM through 22 contests. As long as Ondrej Kase (upper body) is out, Simmonds will see extra playing time on the third line, which has worked out well so far.

Simmonds scored a goal and added two hits in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Wayne Train is rolling through California, as he's picked up a goal and two assists in the last two games against the Kings and the Sharks. The 33-year-old winger has two goals, five helpers, 37 shots on net, 33 hits and 15 PIM in 21 contests overall. Outside of toughness and a little secondary scoring, Simmonds probably isn't going to add much for fantasy managers.
