Simmonds takes elbow to head, leaves game
Wayne Simmonds - W - Philadelphia Flyers
Feb. 2, 2013 - 12:10 AM ET
Wayne Simmonds left Friday's game against the Capitals in the first period after taking an elbow to the head.
Capitals defenseman John Erskine landed the nasty hit, and though it wasn't penalized it's definitely one that could be suspension-worthy. Simmonds' nose was bloodied and he was very slow to get up. He left immediately (at 18:14) and did not return at the start of the second period. He played 5:05.
