Patrick scored the first power-play goal of his career during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a bit of a tough rookie season for Patrick, as he's accumulated just seven goals and nine assists through 51 games. However, he skated with the No. 1 power-play unit on Tuesday with Wayne Simmonds (upper body) out of action. Patrick's fantasy value receives a notable boost because of the man-advantage promotion, and he's definitely talented enough to build on his recent uptick in scoring. He now has a respectable four goals, seven points and 22 shots through his past 11 games.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first multi-point game of the teenager's career, and Patrick now has four goals and 11 points through 41 games. His future remains extremely bright, but for now the Flyers are content giving him a regular shift and letting him develop at his own pace.

Patrick scored an unassisted goal during Thursday's 3-2 overtime win against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

This was just the second goal of the season for the rookie, and it also snapped a 24-game goalless drought. With just three tallies and six helpers through 36 games, Patrick isn't making enough of an offensive dent to be counted on in most fantasy settings. However, he's still worth monitoring in seasonal settings, as his talent and upside aren't in question. It just might take another season or two for the 19-year-old center to put it all together at the highest level.

Patrick received just 9:23 of ice time during Friday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Not only did Patrick log the least ice time of all Flyers on Friday, he has also now played fewer than 10 minutes in consecutive games. While it's obviously not an encouraging trend, the rookie has continued to receive power-play time with the No. 2 unit. Still, with just two goals and five assists through 29 games, it's difficult to justify holding out hope for Patrick to find an offensive groove at the highest level. There aren't many seasonal formats where he currently checks out as a serviceable fantasy asset.

Patrick picked up his second goal of the season in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the visiting Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie fought for control of the puck in front of the cage and then backhanded it top shelf past goalie Mike Smith. Naturally, there's been growing pains with the second overall pick in this year's draft, but Patrick has shown flashes of brilliance on the way to two goals, two assists and a plus-2 rating through his first 11 games in the NHL.

Patrick (upper body) will be in the lineup for Thursday's contest against Winnipeg, Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was forced to miss the last nine games due to the injury, a span that saw the Flyers go an uninspiring 3-4-2. While Patrick has only a goal and three points in nine NHL games, he's a highly-touted player that was drafted second overall in this past June's NHL Draft and possesses the ability to reverse his fortunes when it comes to scoring. This holds especially true if Patrick continues to play around two minutes per game while his team has a man advantage.

Patrick (upper body) is now targeting Thursday's matchup with Winnipeg for his first game back from injury, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was originally hoping to be ready in time for the trip to Minnesota on Tuesday, but instead will look to play in his hometown of Winnipeg. The center has already missed eight outings with his upper-body ailment, which had stretched the Flyers' depth. Once given the all-clear, the rookie will need to be activated off injured reserve with a corresponding roster move clearing space under the 23-man limit.

Patrick (upper body) is aiming for a return to action Tuesday against Minnesota, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

A potential Tuesday return to the ice effectively rules Patrick out for the Flyers' next two outings versus the Blackhawks and the Wild on Thursday and Saturday respectively. Without the rookie in the lineup, the club's depth has been stretched down the middle of the lineup -- including utilizing Jori Lehtera who was a healthy scratch the first six games of the season. If Philadelphia is going to try to compete in the Metropolitan Division, it is going to need Patrick back to 100 percent as soon as possible.

Patrick (upper body) is day-to-day according to Ron Hextall.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was wearing a no-contact jersey Saturday, which would seem like a sign he wasn't quite ready to return. However, considering the Flyers don't play until Thursday, he still has some time to get ready for action.
