Welcome to Philadelphia, kid.
Second overall draft pick Nolan Patrick endeared himself to the Flyers faithful by dropping the gloves and engaging in his first NHL fight with David Krejci of the Boston Bruins.
The unlikely opponent made it less than a heavyweight tilt.
According to @hockeyfights, David Krejci hasn’t fought since the 2011 preseason.

And it looked like an unexperienced bout with Patrick.
The fight came as a result of a melee sparked by a Charlie McAvoy hit on Jordan Weal earlier in the shift.
