Maple Leafs’ Wayne Simmonds: Snaps six-game point drought

Simmonds scored a goal in Toronto’s 5-3 win over Winnipeg on Thursday.

Simmonds snapped a six-game point slump and seven-game goal drought. The Leafs are shuffling around lines because of Zach Hyman’s knee injury and the arrival of Nick Foligno, so the next few games could feature Simmonds in different roles. He brings speed and ferocity to whatever line he’s on, so if he sticks on a higher line, he could be a late-season offensive surprise.
