Top prospect Nolan Patrick has been fully cleared to participate in all tests this weekend at the NHL Combine, he confirmed Wednesday to Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Patrick was limited to 33 games this season with the Brandon Wheat Kings, ailed by sports hernia surgery and a later injury to his leg.

Despite the shortened season, Patrick managed 20 goals and 26 assists, and finished atop the NHL's Central Scouting final rankings.
All eyes will be focused on Patrick over the course of the combine, particularly the New Jersey Devils, which won the right to select first overall in April's draft lottery.
