Flyers’ Patrick out at least a week with upper-body injury

Philadelphia Flyers sophomore Nolan Patrick will be out of action for seven-to-10 days due to an upper-body injury, general manager Ron Hextall announced Thursday.

Patrick was injured in Wednesday's win over the Ottawa Senators. He left the contest after playing just 3:30 and was unable to return. He joins winger James van Riemsdyk, who was recently ruled out for five-to-six weeks, on the shelf as the Flyers' forward corps has been bitten early by injuries.

The 2017 second-overall pick recorded 30 points in his rookie season but hasn't found the scoresheet in four games to open the new campaign.
