Nolan Patrick is one of the newest members of the Philadelphia Flyers after being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. And it didn’t take him long to win over Philly fans.
Patrick challenged Boston Bruins center David Krejci to a fight during a preseason game at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Thursday night.
Krejci accepted and the two forwards dropped their gloves. Check it out in the video below.
