from Tracey Myers of NHL.com,

Rob Simpson is holding up well.

The 54-year-old sportscaster is going to 31 NHL games in 31 days but looked fairly rested at game No. 24 when the Montreal Canadiens played the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Sunday. After game No. 23, a 6-2 win for the Philadelphia Flyers at the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday, Simpson got home to Toronto for a rare good night's sleep.

"I did some laundry, got refreshed and flew into Chicago today," Simpson said. "So that's a highly unusual portion of the schedule to have that luxury."
