Report: Bad news for Flyers' Nolan Patrick

The Philadelphia Flyers provided an injury update to one of their top young players this morning.

Nolan Patrick, drafted 2nd overall in 2017, was injured in a game against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.

He had since returned to team practice, with the worst-case scenario of a concussion being seemingly avoided. However, he is still feeling the effects of the hit, and will miss a second straight game.

Patrick isn't lighting up the scoresheet just yet, he only has 3 points in 9 games, but his impact on the ice has been very noticeable and his continued absence isn't good news for the team.

The Flyers take on the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight.
