Flyers' Wayne Simmonds: Protected by Flyers

Simmonds turned in another rock-solid fantasy season with excellent cross-category coverage. He topped the 30-goal mark for the second straight year and supported his 32 tallies with 54 points, 224 shots, 122 PIM and 162 hits. His 25 power-play points were also a career-best mark. Unfortunately, Simmonds' minus-18 rating was a statistical drain, but there is potential for him to rebound next year in that column.

Flyers' Wayne Simmonds: Goes Gordie Howe on Islanders

After scoring a goal and assisting on another to help build the Flyers' 5-0 first-period lead, Simmonds fought Anders Lee, securing himself a Gordie Howe hat trick in the space of just one period. He went on to add a second assist on an empty-netter. The tough winger came into this tilt in a pretty major slump -- just five points and a minus-4 rating in a span of 14 games -- but he's now finally cleared the 50-point mark while achieving his second 30-goal season. As always, tons of Simmonds' production has come on the power play, as he's now matched his career high with 24 man-advantage points.

Flyers' Wayne Simmonds: Struggling in March

After posting 16 goals and 29 points through the first 32 games of the campaign, it looked like Simmonds was on his way to a career year. He hit an offensive wall in mid-December, though, and he has just 13 goals and seven helpers over his latest 44 games. His year-end numbers are going to be similar to what we've come to expect from the veteran, and Simmonds is still a rock-solid fantasy asset because of his ability to move the needle in plenty of categories. However, it's a shame the veteran couldn't capitalize on his impressive start to the season.

Flyers' Wayne Simmonds: Heading to fourth straight 50-point season

He has a point in each of his last two games and he's on track for his fourth straight 50-point season. And Simmonds has scored at least 28 goals in five of his last six seasons (he scored at that pace in the lockout-shortened season). Simmonds' big drawback this season is his plus-minus, which at minus-16 hangs like an anchor on his fantasy value.

Flyers' Wayne Simmonds: Doin' work on special teams Tuesday

They came within 4:03 of one another in the first half of the first period, so Simmonds got his teammates off on the right foot -- and they never looked back. Stunningly, it'd been more than a month since Simmonds had picked up a multi-point game (Jan. 22 against the Islanders), but with 27 goals and 44 points on his season line, the veteran continues to be a valuable net-front presence and spectacular man-advantage producer for the Flyers. He's already cleared 20 power-play points for the fourth consecutive season.
