Nolan Patrick skated through intense non-contact drills Saturday morning at Skatezone in Voorhees, the fourth time in the last five days he has exercised aside from the team.

“I’m tired now, but feeling good so…’’ the injured rookie said after running through about 45 minutes of drills with Matt Read and assistant coach Ian Laperriere after the Flyers held their morning skate.

Injured when his head slammed against the glass in a game here against Anaheim on Oct. 24, Patrick will miss his eighth straight game when the Flyers host the Minnesota Wild tonight at the Wells Fargo Center.
