Patrick (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against the Blackhawks on Saturday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Patrick has been plagued by injuries again this season, having appeared in a mere 25 games this year. When healthy, the center has been decently productive with two goals and five helpers, so he could challenge for a top-six role once given the all-clear. In the meantime, Jonas Rondbjerg has been called up to fill out the lineup while Michael Amadio returns from COVID-19 protocols.
