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.
Once a player gets three "general misconduct" penalties, it carries a one-game suspension. Instigator (Simmonds has 2) not under "general."

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