Rangers' Glass: Simmonds' punch to McDonagh won't be tolerated

Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds did not receive any supplementary discipline from the NHL after receiving a match penalty for a punch that concussed New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh on Saturday.

Set to oppose each other once again Sunday, Rangers forward Tanner Glass told New York sportswriter Brian Heyman that Simmonds shouldn't expect an easy time.

"He's been in enough altercations to know that it's coming," said Glass, when asked about the McDonagh punch. "You've just got to let him know it's not going to be tolerated. … He'll know."

Glass has just two points along with 27 penalty minutes in 29 games this season. He has fought Simmonds once in the past, as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins in February 2013, and he certainly doesn't seem bothered by the prospect of another bout with the Flyers forward.

"I know what I'm doing," Glass said. "The older you get, the more fights you're in, the more you become comfortable with it."
