Move Mangiapane back to the left side and let Dube center the fourth line.
Best chance for Phillips to succeed if it is going to happen.

Reality of it is that Phillips will probably not even dress.
His call up is a marketing appeasement to the fans to say "Hey you asked for it, and we are giving Phillips a shot".
He won't dress and Sutter can say that Phillips just never looked up to NHL speed in the pregame skates to warrant dressing him. Nobody would know, and Sutter can then tell the fanbase to shut up with their opinions of what he should be doing regarding the lineup.
