After bringing the Flyers some added scoring punch last season, the team rewarded Wayne Simmonds with a six-year contract extension on Thursday.

The 23-year-old Simmonds had career highs with 28 goals and 49 points.

"I don't feel pressure, but obviously I'm going to go out there, and I work as hard as I can every day whether it's on the ice or off the ice," Simmonds said.
