I hope Phillips gets another shot later in the season. He didn't look that impressive in the 2 games he did play though. I know players often need more time to settle in, but IMO, he looked a little panicked with the puck and not up to how quick the NHL level is when it comes to making decisions with the puck. Maybe if you give him 10 straight games, that part starts to come. I guess Sutter doesn't want to risk it at this particular moment.
