After the game, Terry Murray didn’t disclose exactly what is/was bothering Wayne Simmonds, and caused him to miss the final 38 minutes of the game with a lower-body injury, but Murray did offer a rosier-than-expected update on Simmonds’ status…
MURRAY: “Quite honestly, we’ll know better tomorrow. He wasn’t able to come back, as you saw. It was close, though. When I talked to the trainer at the end of the (second) period, he thought he could maybe come back out and give it a try. But he came back, just before we went back out on the ice, and said he’s going to hold him off. We’ll have a better idea tomorrow. … It doesn’t sound too serious, and I’m definitely hoping that. I’ll get more information tomorrow.”
