Simmonds returns for Flyers

Good sign for the Flyers: Right winger Wayne Simmonds returned to practice Monday, skating with the team in Orleans, Mass.

Afterward, Simmonds said he felt no ill effects and that he was hopeful of playing Wednesday in Boston.

"He looked good. Finsihed the whole practice and did some extra skating," coach Craig Berube said. "We'll see tomorrow, but he looked fine."

Simmonds injured his left foot while blocking a shot in a 4-2 win over the Rangers Tuesday. He did not play in Thursday's preseason finale in Washington.

He has been wearing a boot on the foot, but felt well enough to go through drills Monday in Cape Cod.

Simmonds, who led the Flyers with 29 goals last season, has been on a line with Sean Couturier and Matt Read.

More updates coming after practice.
