Does Sutter even have Phillips as an option at this point? Granted, he might have said he isn't going to play him anyways but Treliving has to call him up before the coach can put him anywhere.
Knowing that both Sutter and the Flames can finish above .500 for the season (not that it means much anymore), I'd also be surprised if they did anything other than try hard to win 4 straight. The limit is probably that they won't ask anyone to play through an injury, but beyond that they are going for it.
