Around noon today, as the Flyers started their Wednesday practice, we were graced with the following tweet from Dave Isaac:
That news in itself is huge for the Flyers, who have not had Patrick available for the entirety of the 2019-20 NHL season. Even better, Isaac clarified the news further:
Considering there’s other players in a white jersey, looks like he may have been cleared for contact.

Patrick wore the white jersey, along with Nicolas Aube-Kubel, Michael Raffl, and Connor Bunnaman.
