Maple Leafs' Wayne Simmonds: Skating with big club

Simmonds was on the ice for Leafs' practice Thursday, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

Simmonds was briefly sent down to the minors in what may have been a procedural move to maintain his eligibility to be reassigned as needed. The veteran winger was sporting a reserve sweater at Thursday's game-time skate, likely indicating he will remain a healthy scratch alongside Nick Robertson.
