Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall has confirmed rookie forward Nolan Patrick will not be loaned to Team Canada for the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championship.
Patrick has been limited to 20 games due to a concussion suffered earlier this season, and has recorded two goals and four assists.
He's also averaging under 12 minutes a game, and has posted two shots on goal in his past five games.
Still, the second overall pick from the 2017 NHL Draft won't be making the trip to Buffalo for this year's Under-20 tournament.
