Clean, clear, and under control.

Nolan Patrick had an "abscess/boil" that has been addressed, and he's doing well, the Philadelphia Flyers revealed Friday night.

The 18-year-old was held off the ice Thursday due to what the club originally referred to as an infection in his face.

Patrick battled through an injury-plagued draft year but took part in the NHL's scouting combine before being selected second overall by the Flyers last month.

The Flyers have to be relieved that his latest ailment won't boil over into the regular season.
