Tanner Glass wasn’t trying to force the issue, but the Rangers’ pugilistic forward was just making it clear that when he steps on the ice against the Flyers Wayne Simmonds on Sunday, it won’t exactly be a friendly encounter.
Simmonds concussed Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh on Saturday in Philadelphia with a gloved sucker punch, sidelining McDonagh for Monday’s 2-1 win over the Devils and at least Wednesday’s game against the Penguins in Pittsburgh. The Kings are in the Garden on Friday, and then Simmonds and the Flyers come in on Sunday night.
