Wayne Simmonds broke out of a seven-game scoring drought on Saturday against Phoenix with his fifth goal of the season. The 23-year-old winger has been a disappointment this season from an offensive point of view with nine points in 25 games. Simmonds has endured a couple of lengthy spells without a point in his first year with Philadelphia, but coach Peter Laviolette likes the way he is playing and gave the youngster some words of encouragement last week.

Wayne Simmonds had seven penalty minutes in Saturday's 2-0 loss. Simmonds and the Rangers' Brandon Prust both spent two minutes in the sin bin for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Wayne Simmonds snapped a six-game scoreless drought in Saturday's win over Columbus and the key to his success might be maintaining his physical edge. "I started well," he said. "I guess I just tailed off a little bit. I think it was more of a reflection of myself. I've just got to stick to my game and play the way that I was playing in the first seven, eight games. I think I need to get back to focusing on the physical aspect." Simmonds has three goals and three assists in 14 games this season to go with 29 penalty minutes.

Wayne Simmonds is ready to take on his former team on Saturday. While the game is in Philadelphia, Mike Richards should take some pressure off Simmonds. Even if that is the case, Simmonds is prepared to grind out a win. "It's my old team, and I have a little bit to prove, but I think it's more that we have to focus on our team game...It's not about me. We want to come in and get the two points, and that's all that matters," Simmonds said. Expect a physical game here between two elite teams.

Wayne Simmonds has played well for Philadelphia in the first two games of the year. He has received increased responsibilities with the Flyers after coming over from Los Angeles in the Mike Richards deal and has drawn praise from the team's brass with his early play. Simmonds registered a goal, dropped the gloves with David Clarkson and was credited with three hits in a 3-0 win over New Jersey on Saturday. He has two points, nine penalty minutes and seven shots, while playing with Daniel Briere and Jakub Voracek. Simmonds could post a career year if this keeps up and if penalty minutes are a positive in your pool then he could be even more valuable.

The man in London, Ontario that threw a banana peel at Philadelphia forward Wayne Simmonds last week has reportedly been arrested. Christopher Moorhouse, a 26-year-old who allegedly committed the act, has been arrested and charged under the trespass to property act, a provincial statute. "Mr.Moorhouse has been served with a part three summons, and if convicted of this offence - could be liable to a fine of not more than $2,000," London police chief Brad Duncan said. "This is a provincial offense and not a criminal charge, and will be dealt with in the provincial offenses court." Simmonds has found himself at the center of a pair of morally reprehensible controversies lately with this and Sean Avery saying that the Flyers winger uttered a homophobic slur at him during Monday's exhibition contest.
