For Nolan Patrick, the transition from junior hockey to the NHL has been slower than he would like.
But there are signs that Patrick, the No. 2 pick in the 2017 entry draft, may be figuring things out.
The Philadelphia Flyers center has registered points in two of his last four games. Saturday, the former Brandon Wheat Kings star scored the game-winner in the shootout as the Flyers defeated Arizona 4-3. He also played a season-high 18:42 against the Coyotes.
“It’s a lot different adjustment coming from juniors,” Patrick said Sunday prior to the Flyers facing the Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena.
