Simmonds (wrist) has been placed on long-term injured reserve, per CapFriendly.
Simmonds is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks with a broken wrist, so this move was expected. Alexander Barabanov will likely have an expanded role for the duration of Simmonds' absence.
Simmonds sustained a broken wrist, which will sideline him for at least six weeks, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Given Simmonds' extended layoff, he figures to find himself on injured reserve in the coming days. In fact, based on his timeline, the veteran will miss well beyond the 10-game requirement for long-term injured reserve, which would afford the Leafs some cap space to fill out the roster. Several candidates could be in line to replace Simmonds in a top-six role, including Alexander Barabanov and Ilya Mikheyev.
Simmonds may miss up to six weeks after suffering an apparent hand injury during Saturday's win over the Canucks, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Simmonds lit the lamp twice before suffering the injury, bringing his season total to five goals through 12 games. The team hasn't revealed specifics about Simmonds' injury. They'll likely provide more detail before Monday's matchup against the Canucks.
Simmonds left Saturday's game versus the Canucks with an apparent hand injury, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
Simmonds scored twice on five shots before departing in the third period with the hand injury. With the injury occurring so late in the game, there may not be an update on the winger's status from head coach Sheldon Keefe after the contest. Consider Simmonds day-to-day for now.
Simmonds scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
The Wayne Train rolled on for a third straight game with a goal. He's feasted on the goaltending out in Alberta, where he has all his offense in nine appearances this season. The veteran winger has added 11 hits, 12 shots on goal, 17 PIM and a minus-5 rating.
Simmonds scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.
Simmonds scored in both games versus Calgary on the Maple Leafs' road trip out west, so he may be sad to leave the Saddledome behind. Through eight appearances, the 32-year-old has two tallies, 11 shots on goal, 17 PIM and 10 hits. He's working in a third-line role but also gets some power-play time as a net-front presence, which could eventually boost his offense slightly.
Simmonds has played in all five Leafs games this season and has delivered 15 PIM, seven hits, four shots and a minus-4 rating.
Simmonds has no points, but he's doing what he was brought in for and that's light a fire under his teammates. It took him until just the second period of Game 1 to get in a fight, mostly to inject some life into his team. He's no longer much of a fantasy asset in traditional formats, but he does deliver in specialty formats that count hits and PIM.
Simmonds put pen to paper on a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Maple Leafs on Friday, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
Simmonds split time with New Jersey and Buffalo last season, appearing in a combined 68 games in which he garnered eight goals and 17 helpers. With general manager Kyle Dubas looking to make the team tougher to play against, the addition of Simmonds will certainly add some physicality to the roster considering he's dished out at least 100 hits in all but one of his 12 NHL seasons.
Simmonds has been given permission by the Sabres to negotiate with other teams, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
According to reports, Simmonds has drawn interest from several clubs including the Maple Leafs and Canadiens. The winger recorded 24 points in 61 appearances for the Devils but managed a lone assist in seven games with Buffalo after being traded at the deadline. Wherever the Ontario native lands, he should be capable of pushing for the 30-point mark.
Simmonds, who is a pending unrestricted free agent, is interested in returning to Buffalo, Lance Lyskowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Simmonds was the team's big trade deadline acquisition but only saw seven games with the Sabres before the pandemic cut short the season. Buffalo is one of seven teams not to make the league's 24-team playoff, should play resume before next season. Simmonds will turn 32 in August, but the Sabres need size and toughness up front and the fit seemed to be there, even in such a limited sample size. We'll see if the two sides work something out or if another team offers up a bigger payday than Buffalo. The veteran finished his 12th NHL season with 25 points, a minus-21 rating, 145 hits and 66 PIM in 68 games between Buffalo and New Jersey.
Simmonds will start on Buffalo's second line during Wednesday's game against Colorado.
After being acquired at the trade deadline, Simmonds will immediately slot into the top six. He'll play on a line with Jeff Skinner and Marcus Johansson. The Sabres have lacked secondary scoring all season, and while Simmonds' eight goals and 24 points don't scream top-six forward, a change of scenery could be what he needs to get going. The days of 30-goal seasons are long behind him, but his leadership could help his linemates become more productive.
The Sabres acquired Simmonds from New Jersey for a 2021 conditional fifth-round pick Monday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
For the second straight season, Simmonds is on the move at the trade deadline. The 31-year-old winger has produced 24 points and 128 hits through 61 games this season, and he'll add a valuable veteran presence in the Sabres' locker room. The Sabres have an uphill battle to make the playoffs, but this is a low-risk move, as the Devils are retaining 50 percent of Simmonds' $5 million contract and cap hit.
Simmonds scored two goals -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 4-3 win over Detroit.
Simmonds scored the middle two tallies in New Jersey's four-goal outburst over a four-minute span in the third period. The power forward has two goals and two assists over a three-game point streak, but his season output has been limited to seven goals and 23 points in 56 games.
Simmonds recorded a power-play assist Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Kings.
Simmonds snapped a six-game point drought with the primary helper on Blake Coleman's goal. The ex-Flyer only has one multi-point game, but the good news is that Simmonds, a punishing winger, hasn't missed any action in his debut season with the Devils. As a result, he remains a decent option as we rapidly approach the fantasy playoffs.
Simmonds produced an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
Simmonds set up Miles Wood's empty-net goal in the third period. The 31-year-old winger has three assists and seven hits in his last four games. Simmonds is up to 17 points, 99 hits, 90 shots and 54 PIM through 45 contests.
Simmonds was ejected Saturday against the Avalanche after yelling at an official following an on-ice review, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Following the review, Simmonds voiced his disapproval with the decision and whatever he said caused the official to send the veteran winger to the showers early. The league likely will review the incident to see if further discipline is required, but it seems highly unlikely that Simmonds will be suspended.
Simmonds managed an assist, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 7-1 blowout win over the Blackhawks.
Simmonds set up Jack Hughes for the Devils' first goal of the contest. Goal-scoring has been a struggle for the 31-year-old winger, who has gone 17 games without lighting the lamp. He's picked up only four assists in that span. Simmonds has only 13 points, 75 shots on goal and 80 hits in 36 outings.
Simmons scored a goal on two shots and delivered three hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Ottawa.
Simmons opened the scoring just over four minutes into the game, beating Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson cleanly on a breakaway. It was just the third goal of the season for Simmonds, but he's now found the net in back-to-back games. That's an encouraging sign for the 31-year-old, who has just four goals over his last 34 games since being traded from Philadelphia to Nashville at last year's trade deadline.
Simmonds scored the opening goal, a power-play marker, in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.
Simmonds' second of the campaign opened the scoring, and it was Jesper Bratt who tacked on another to give New Jersey a 2-0 lead in the first period. Only Brock Boeser scored for the host Canucks. Simmonds, meanwhile, has seven points across 16 games with both his goals coming with the man advantage.
Simmonds bagged three helpers in Wednesday night's 7-6 overtime loss to the Lightning.
Since collecting an assist on Opening Night, Simmonds had been held pointless in eight games, but the forward broke out in a big way Wednesday, albeit in a losing effort. Three assists in an OT loss give the bruising forward four helpers on the year, but Simmonds continues to be shut out of the goal column.
