Those Philadelphia Flyers are a tough bunch.

Shortly after defenseman Ivan Provorov revealed he lost feeling in his arm and continued playing in Game 6 of the club's playoff series versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, forward Wayne Simmonds said he'd been playing with a torn pelvis since training camp.

The injuries didn't stop there, though.

Simmonds, 29, didn't miss any games until February, when he was ruled out for two-to-three weeks with an upper-body injury. In the 75 games he did play - clearly without being at 100 percent - he contributed 24 goals and 22 assists.
