Wayne Simmonds Needs Only One (Big) Punch To Win Fight Vs. Jonathan Ericsson

NHL enforcers probably should think twice about fighting Wayne Simmonds.

The Philadelphia Flyers forward needed just one mighty punch to win a fight against Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson on Tuesday. When the two squared up in the second period, many hoped for a proper rumble, but Simmons instead simply floored Ericsson.

Ericsson lost the fight but won the battle, however. The Red Wings defeated the Flyers 3-2 in a shootout.
