Wayne Simmonds earns All-Star MVP honors

Wayne's world.
Metropolitan Division and Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds was named MVP of the All-Star Game on Sunday, after his team was victorious over the Pacific in the final, 4-3.
Simmonds' third goal of the day, and his only one in the final, ended up the tournament-winner.
A first-time All-Star, Simmonds flies under the radar as a do-it-all guy for the Flyers, but he'll be more of a household name after his solid weekend in Los Angeles. And he's got a new truck, a Honda Ridgeline, to show for his efforts.
Fittingly enough, Simmonds began his career as a member of the Kings, so there's some symmetry in his first All-Star appearance - and first three All-Star goals - coming in L.A.
Simmonds has a team-leading 21 goals for the Flyers, and ranks third on the team in points with 38, while also accumulating the club's most penalty minutes (76).
