Patrick scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old put together his first multi-point performance of the season to help the Golden Knights climb out of a 2-0 hole and earn a point in the standings. Patrick remains stuck in a bottom-six role, and the former Flyer still has yet to live up to his billing as the second overall pick in the 2017 draft, managing only two goals and five points in 13 games this year.

Patrick departed the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Sunday, per David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick has averaged 12:28 of ice time -- 1:58 during the man advantage -- and has distributed two assists over his last five appearances. The 23-year-old was activated off injured reserve on Dec. 28 after a 29-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. He is likely to participate in Monday's game against the Penguins.

Patrick entered COVID-19 protocols and will not play Tuesday against Toronto.

Patrick managed an assist in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick set up Ben Hutton for the Golden Knights' only tally. The 23-year-old Patrick has earned assists in each of the last two games after going three straight without a point when he returned from an undisclosed injury. The forward is at three points, 15 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in nine contests. With little chance of moving into a top-six role, he's not a strong depth option in fantasy.

Patrick notched an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Patrick's first point in four games since he returned from an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old has just two points in eight contests overall, and he's unlikely to play above a bottom-six role this season. The Canadian forward can be left on the fantasy waiver wire unless he surges on offense.

The Golden Knights activated Patrick (undisclosed) off long-term injured reserve Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. He's the fourth-line center for Friday's game against Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Patrick's first game since Oct. 22, when he suffered the undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old, who tallied an assist in four games before landing on IR, figures to be a mainstay in the Golden Knights' lineup going forward.

Patrick (undisclosed) might be ready to play in Friday's clash with the Ducks, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick -- who has been sidelined since Oct. 22 versus the Oilers -- has been a full practice participant since before the extended Christmas break and seems to be trending in the right direction. If he does get back into the lineup, the Winnipeg native will likely start out in a bottom-six role but could challenge for more responsibilities, including the power play, once he gets his legs under him.

Patrick (undisclosed) skated at practice in a regular jersey Tuesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick recently returned to practice in a non-contact jersey, but Tuesday's session was the first for him to be in a regular sweater. The 23-year-old still doesn't have a clear timeline to return, but these latest developments suggest he shouldn't be out for too much longer. He's been sidelined since Oct. 22.

Patrick (undisclosed) didn't make the trip for Wednesday night's game in Nashville and isn't close to returning, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick hasn't played in a month due to an undisclosed issue and at this point he should probably be considered out indefinitely. The 23-year-old pivot has been limited to just four games this campaign due to injury.

Patrick (undisclosed) won't play against Seattle on Tuesday and is considered day-to-day with his injury, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick will now miss his ninth consecutive game and still doesn't have a timetable for a return. It's an interesting report given that day-to-day statuses often come with some type of intended target for getting back to game action. Nonetheless, Patrick's next chance to return will come Thursday against visiting Minnesota.
