Fitness testing at the NHL Scouting Combine is complete, and the projected top two picks are quite happy about the fact.
Nolan Patrick and Nico Hischier each felt the burn during the Wingate cycle ergometer bike test Saturday, writes NHL.com's Mike Morreale.
"It was terrible," Patrick said, adding that the exercise caused him to lose his breakfast.
Patrick is the top-ranked skater ahead of the June 23 draft, while fellow forward Hischier is ranked second by NHL Central Scouting.
Here are their test results:
| Hischier | Test | Patrick |
|---|---|---|
| 105.75" | Standing long jump | 99.75" |
| 7 | Bench press (70% of body weight) | 12 |
| 4.75 seconds | Pro agility test left | 4.76 seconds |
| 4.53 seconds | Pro agility test right | 4.75 seconds |
| 19.37" | Vertical jump | 19.49" |
| 13 | Pullups | 11 |
The New Jersey Devils will draft first overall, while the Philadelphia Flyers own the second overall selection.
