Fantasy Impact
Simmonds racked up 28 goals a year ago, and is a key part of the Flyers attack. Giroux and Del Zotto getting on the stat sheet is a good sign as well, as all of Philadelphia's key contributors will need to be consistently productive if the Flyers plan on contending this season. With the Flyers breaking in a new coach, having their best players play up to their capabilities from day one would go a long way towards lifting the team through growing pains and adjustments.
