- Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News: Flyers Wayne Simmonds returned to practice yesterday for the first time since suffering a concussion last Friday.
“I think everything went well today,” Simmonds said. “I feel good today, especially. I really don’t know what’s going to happen. We’ll have to see, I honestly couldn’t tell you whether I can play or not, it’s for the medical staff to decide. It’s obviously a touchy thing and you don’t want to push it.”
He’s listed as day-to-day and could return tonight. Simmonds has been headache-free the “entire time.”
