Report: Nolan Partrick could play this week!

The Philadelphia Flyers could count on the return of last draft's second overall pick Nolan Patrick as soon as Thursday! As hockey insider Wayne Fish reported on Twitter today, Patrick participated in the team practice on Monday. General manager Ron Hextall is hopeful Patrick will be able to play in Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. He has already been ruled out for tomorrow's game against the Minnesota Wild.

Patrick has missed the last eight games with a concussion. In nine games played with the Flyers so far this season, the Winnipeg, Manitoba native registered three points. 

The Flyers will face the Minnesota Wild tomorrow night and the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
