It comes after an altercation between
Auston Matthews against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Michael Bunting and Mark Giordano had to defend the Maple Leafs superstar Matthews when he would not stand up for himself in their most recent matchup against the Flyers, when
Travis Konecny attempted to engage in combat, he was jumped by the two. Simmonds, who is now more well-known for his aggressiveness than his offensive skill, might be reinserted into the lineup to give Toronto a little more bite.
