Philadelphia Flyers forwards Matt Read and Wayne Simmonds got under the skin of the Florida Panthers just prior to the first intermission Monday night.

Moments after Simmonds hit Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov into the boards, Read appeared to make contact with Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo, which drew an immediate response from multiple Florida players:

Simmonds is such a bully.

Simmonds was assessed a pair of roughing minors, as was Panthers forward Connor Brickley. Florida defenseman Alex Petrovic also got a roughing minor, which meant the Flyers came away with a power play.
