Golden Knights' Nolan Patrick: Set to miss 2022-23 campaign
Patrick (upper body) is not expected to play this season, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports Monday.
At this point, it's possible Patrick has played his final NHL game considering he has previously seen an entire year lost to injury. If the 24-year-old center is indeed done, he will eventually retire when his contract expires at the end of the season having appeared in just 222 games after being selected second overall in the 2017 NHL Draft. At a minimum, Patrick will spend the year on long-term injured reserve in order to give the Knights some much-needed cap relief.

Golden Knights' Nolan Patrick: Likely opening year on LTIR
Patrick (upper body) is likely to begin the 2022-23 season on long-term injured reserve, Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now reports.
Patrick sustained this latest upper-body injury in late March, and as of July, he'd made no substantial progress in his recovery. The 23-year-old center has dealt with traumatic head injuries for much of his professional career, and it's expected he'll be forced to miss at least the first month of the upcoming season -- and likely much more.

Golden Knights' Nolan Patrick: Sidelined Saturday
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.

Patrick (upper body) left Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche in the first period, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Patrick got hit up high by Nathan MacKinnon, which sent the former crashing into the boards. Patrick didn't come back to the bench at the start of the second period.
