From TSN,
Simon will be eligible to return to the Islanders’ line-up against the Tampa Bay Lightning next Thursday. He has been serving a 30-game suspension for stomping on the leg of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jarkko Ruutu.
“What I love most is playing hockey and when it gets taken away I realize how much I love it. Ted has always been a great help and a great supporter. My teammates were amazing. The whole organization kept checking in on me and seeing how I was doing and what I was up to. I really appreciated that,” Simon said after practice.

Curiously, there’s no mention of the team-imposed “suspension” (can’t remember if that was the exact term they used). At the time, it sounded like the Islanders were going to ensure Simon got some type of treatment/couseling. Or am I remembering it incorrectly?

Nice way to sneak Simon back into the lineup against Toronto where no media will be paying attention.

It’s funny, because I was just thinking of Simon the other day. I hope he got the help he needed. Glad to hear he’s doing well.
