Simmonds Sends Pezzetta Packing
The Toronto Maple Leafs called up Simmonds for tonight's match, their last home game of the season, providing the Scarborough native with an opportunity to bid farewell to his fans.

Seizing the chance, Simmonds made quick work of Montreal Canadiens' enforcer
Michael Pezzetta.
The altercation was so lopsided that a concerned father was spotted shielding his child's eyes.
Simmonds' performance tonight may persuade the Leafs to keep him on the roster for the first-round matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Regardless of his future with the team, this night will be etched in the memories of fans and players alike.
