Simmonds update

Wayne Simmonds declined to comment to reporters after the game. Terry Murray would not elaborate on the nature of Simmonds’ “lower-body injury” or Simmonds’ short-term prospects for playing, but said the injury took place late in the second period after a hit by Dallas’ Matt Niskanen.

MURRAY: “When he was entering the offensive zone, he had possession of the puck and took a check on that play. He came out in the third and tried it, one shift, and he just had a tough time there with twisting, turning.”
