Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds won't face supplemental discipline for punching New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh on Saturday, reports Dave Isaac of Courier-Post.

Simmonds was assessed a match penalty for intent to injure and a game misconduct for the incident. McDonagh left the contest and didn't return.

The 27-year-old will be in the Flyers' lineup against the Washington Capitals on Sunday afternoon. Although he avoided suspension, Isaac adds he won't be as fortunate next time.

He has 18 goals and 16 assists to go along with 110 penalty minutes in 50 games this season.
