Flyers' Patrick will miss start of season with migraine disorder

Philadelphia Flyers forward Nolan Patrick has been diagnosed with a migraine disorder and won't be available for the start of the regular season, the team announced Thursday.

The Flyers are listing the center as week-to-week.

Patrick missed the final two games of the 2018-19 season with a concussion, but there's no word indicating that the diagnosis is concussion-related.

The 21-year-old mustered 13 goals and a career-best 31 points in his second NHL campaign. He also ranked fourth among Flyers forwards with 72 hits.

Patrick has contributed 26 goals and 61 points over 145 career contests since being selected by Philadelphia with the second overall pick at the 2017 NHL Draft.
